this is the corner common to 35 & 36 along a standard line and the closing corner of 2 & 1.

These are large landowners so not really a big deal, but it is like a upscaled version of subdivisions where two corners are very close together along a common line, the fence always seems to get built to the wrong one.

Found that yesterday, kinda made me chuckle cause I was chatting with the 86 year old guy who built the fences and he said they weren't sure what was going on in a "couple" of places.

Heck, each fence is only off 132 feet (+/-). At $1 per acre, that's no big deal. At $5000 per acre, that's a big deal.

I know of a surveyor who ran his line to the wrong corner and didn't realize it for about 10 years. No, not me, really, it was a different guy. This came up when he learned I owned a quarter-quarter section directly across the road from that old survey. He let me know not to make the same mistake he had.

Yeah, the land isn't worth much, but...............

The minerals,,,,,,,,that's a different story, when you can lease at 100-200 an acre every 3 to 5 years, then we are talking about real money
