BLM Corrections of Erroneous Corners

Kent McMillan · 2010-08-07T00:56:54Z

Okay, there is some discussion about the policy of the BLM regarding grossly erroneous survey markers that fall within its jurisdiction to correct.Just to start things off, here is an example from 2007, a corrective resurvey in Twp 47 N, Range 78 W, of the Sixth Principal Meridian, Wyoming. The corner in question is in Johnson County, Wyoming.Evidently, a modern BLM resurvey with GPS found the 1/4 corner between Sections 22 and 27 that had been set by the BLM in 1987 to be about 160 ft. out of its proper position. So, to prevent the confusion the BLM removed the 1987 corner monument, altered it by adding the stamping "AM 2007" and buried it half a foot below grade.This obviously indicates that the BLM recognized the danger of leaving grossly erroneous monuments in place and that some measure needed to be taken to make it very unlikely that the erroneous monument would be inadvertently used
