You guys are great.
Yes, I have studied everything and know how to proceed, which agrees with your comments.
I brought this to this board mainly to encourage others to consider how they would handle the situation if it was in their own backyard.
HOLY COW!!!! I think you've got it. Listen to the experts and thank God you are not in Idaho, where we are all apparently required to be devout Catholics, all the time!!
So much for freedom of religion. (well, that and property rights and boundary stability)
I'll work on one tomorrow, where a bonehead catholic surveyor, disregarded a hundred + year old fence line along the E. bndry of the NW1/4NE1/4. The N, S, & W qtr cors are all single proportioned. The NE, NW, SE section corners are all double proportioned in. And yes there are plenty of very old fences running along 1/16 lines in this and adjoining sections. The neighbors are considering a fight, so I was called in by the neighbor that didn't hire the bonehead.
Good Grief!!
This whole catholic concept is new to me?
I have been around the block, but not that block.
I do hear though that all subdivision of sections are ONLY done by chapter 3 of the Manual in Idaho!

Yes I have seen this too.
Father forgive me for I have sinned.
I found a 1/2" iron pipe with plastic plug set in 1969 for the west 1/16th corner between Sections 22 and 27 but I didn't perfectify it because the stupid loggers (timber harvesters) have been using it all of this time.
I will say 6 hail chapter 3s now.
For us non-Catholics!
Father Matthew is an Episcopalian Priest (not Roman Catholic).
I wondered about a Catholic Priest wearing other than a black suit jacket so I went to the youtube video and, that explains it, he's Episcopalian. Not to mention crossing left to right and not right to left as I believe Roman Catholics do it.

That's alright, Dave. An Episcopalian is just a Catholic who flunked latin... ;o)
You know, I've never really thought about it, but you bring up a good point. Are surveyors supposed to run the lines from south to north and west to east when they determine the center section? Or, are they supposed to run from north to south and intersect the line run east to west? I suppose the surveyors east of the Mississippi run from east to west while those of us in the west run from west to east. Personally, I think they're doing it wrong... ;o)
