Your Control Point ?

Obviously you did not have your name on it.

More paint, please.

BTW, do you know which one is yours.

Yes. Mine is the older one with white paint. The one that was there first.

Oh...about 0.04'....

The thing is, whoever did that don't have my coordinates to the original cross cut. So.... why would they move it over a fuzz? So they have better lines of sight? lol!

Maybe they did it for an alternate point (diamond traverse) traverse point?

They probably ran your control traverse through a least-squares adjustment routine, and moved your actual point to match the adjusted coordinates 😉

See what you get when you leave your control traverse unadjusted?

Easy to understand why

You obviously set your control point in the wrong location in the first place 😛

Adjustment for .....

tectonic plate movement. I know I'm being facetious, but that is one of the many problems with number crunchers and coordinates.

Actually The New "X Is A Closing Point

Since they do not know how to adjust, they started on your old point. traversed around and closed on the new point. That way their angles are all perfect.

The simplest solution is always the best.

That qualifies as one of the dumbest things I've ever seen done by a survey crew. I bet someone is messing with you and added the second cut to be funny.
