> That's what happened around the original settlements in my little valley. After the GLO survey and the patents there was a flurry of deeds made out to convey the land to the owners and their fences. So the fences were the established boundaries after that. Fast forward 100 years and all the GLO corners can't be found (post and mound) and many have been punched in so to speak. Now all the fences are off according to modern surveyors coming back off the new and improved section corners. Go figure!
I haven't come across any deeds whose purpose was to move the GLO boundaries to the pre-GLO fence. However, I have come across the erroneous conclusions of more than a few surveyors who erroneously accepted a fence corner where they shouldn't have.

In Oklahoma, you do have to basically claim "I stole it fair and square, your honor" so I can see his point.

It looked as though it came from a seminar booklet.
Yes, it does. Rather an old one, too.
Some concepts are timeless even if ignored by moderns.

Ignored? The reason I suggest that the source is surveyorconnect is because the list could have been gleaned from discussions on this website.
I think parts of this have been posted by linebender before. Probably notes from a university surveying course in the 70's before surveyors abandoned the common law for the last forty years. But, the law is the same, the courts keep showing the way and a few states like Utah have even become more rational about establishing boundaries. Iowa is a very solid state, they even were smart enough to outlaw title insurance.
Does that fence....
Curve as it runs east to west???

You have a good memory Ridge.

How about a link to the previous post? Or even a 'subject' hint...
