Survey Monument Expedition

Here are a few pictures from the recent expedition that Kurt Luebke and I took. In three days we covered 1300 miles in Nebraska, Kansas, and Colorado together in search of monuments. Kurt had spent the previous two days before that searching in Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri alone, so some serious recoveries going on. We also did two complete remonumentations of 1890 Missouri River Commission tri stations. I learned that it is best to first go inside a small town bank and tell them you are taking pictures of a survey marker and not casing out the bank. I'll post a variety of images in the following days, but here are pictures from Meades Ranch in Kansas. It was my third pilgrimage there and Kurt's first. We did not make it to station Waldo since we could not find anyone around for permission, but we did stop in the town for a few pictures.Meades Ranch tri station.Meades Ranch disk.Meades Ranch.Possible stones at the SW Corner of Section 34, T9S, R11W. The original description for Meades Ranch ties in the section corner at S8°36'W - 625 yards which took us to this location. These might be old limestone fence posts instead since we could find no markings on them.Entering Waldo, Kansas.Water Tower at Waldo.Bench mark in post office wall at Waldo.Close up of disk at Waldo post office.Historical sign about Meades Ranch in Osborne, Kansas.
