Interesting that it caused such a stir. In the north west, these are fairly common. Surveyors still mark trees to reference section corners. I will admit most surveyors do not have the knowledge or skill to recover the 100 year old evidence.

We still 3 chop line trees and "pointers" in trees on boundary surveys, but only the ignorant cut wedges. This will cause disease and the tree will never make 100 years. 3 straight chops into the tree will scar up nicely.
