Considering the territory involved, I was guessing the witness corners were based on the futility of attempting to place a monument at the true corner.
With distances like 0.50?ÿ 1.08?ÿ 0.46 0.45 1.21 etc., maybe trees at the calculated corners?
But if that were the case, wouldn't they have set them on line instead of at various other bearings?
I dunno Bill, I might be missing something here, but all of the Witness Corners appear to be ON LINE except the WC for the ?¬ Corner of Sections 20/29, which reads "0.45 South" as opposed to 0.45 S0?ø42'W (which would make sense to me). The dimension for the WC to Cor. of Sections 18/17 (and presumably 7/8) is also missing on the plat.
Maybe I need another cup of coffee (or new glasses).

You're right, of course.?ÿ I came back to this thread with the thought and didn't check it out properly.
