But I have a "Plaque".

And "Stob" for a stake or pin.

I've heard plaque used very occasionally.

It wasn't until reading your comment of "...can't help but wonder how our work came to be associated with an award to hang on a wall", that it hit me.  I have a few clients that have framed and hung the survey plat I provided them for their property.  I'm sure others have as well.  I wonder if the clients doing this has led to the use of plaque.  Perhaps it was more common to do so in the past as a source of pride in ownership of the property.

It was a leaps and bounds survey.

Yeah that survey needs framed and hung on a wall- in every school offering survey courses and in the chambers where boards of registration/licensing meet

@holy-cow

Oh...I've heard that too.

Rats?  😛   Actually Ratonian is what most say.
