Standing near my GPS base point which is set inside the fence of this private road (looking south), the old way I surveyed in this area was to occupy a triangulation point on the high hill to the south. It was a very tricky ascent in the old Bronco and even in a 4 wheeler, I've never been up it in any of my supercabs. We always used it and traversed into another station, the main one to the north is about 20 miles and was well positioned for most of our work in the area.
Sure is easier just to pop the base on this point.
the south 1/4 of a Section 26, nice firmly set stone.
far away in a totally different section 26 the east 1/4:
and a mile to the west the w1/4 was also still in, although its a bit fractured:
in a different area this is the north 1/4 of Section 25:
Your third photo caught my attention. At first glance I saw what I thought was the toe of your shoe on the right side of the photo. My! That would be a tiny corner stone or your feet are waaaaay too big! Then I saw the toe of your shoe at the bottom of the photo. Things began to make sense. Did you bring the tire with you or was it there to guide you to the stone?

Tire is always optional:cool:
it's a large stone for the area, what you see is just the top of it.
Attire (a tire) is optional.
Reminded me of the old sign: Be alert, the world needs more lerts.
