Not much mention of the original survey. Original bearing trees? Calls from the original notes?

From the looks of all the improvements and fences...there's two corners.(?!)

I'd be interested in the distances north to Trap Rd. and south to Sullivan Crossroad vs. the original survey. Both corners seem to possess pedigrees.

A truly magic moment. Parallel universes that only miss each other by ninety-somethin' feet...

PS - someone used the southern most corner to lay out some good straight fences to the east. Fences don't get that straight by pulling barb wire taught with a tractor.

The corner in trap road hasn't yet undergone cellular division and is supposedly perpetuated from a bearing tree.
It measures near record 80 chains to the southerly of the 2 shown above. It hits close to record for the mile to the south, also.

we've done a bunch of work in this section and the looks of things show that the original was fairly consistently +/-14 ft long in the 1/2 mile- on positions that are supposed to be good perpetualtions.

I can think of one section corner scenario that is similar but only about 30 feet between the two corners. One fits everything on the north going both east and west while the other fits everything on the south going both east and west.

I can think of one quarter corner that is similar and something like 75 feet betweent the two corners. Section to west fits one of them while the section to the east fits the other.

If you HAVE to pick one over the other it would be the north one; after all that was done by an ES not just an S.;-)

If the GLO surveyor set only one corner, then there is only ONE.
It may be one of those or maybe not?
I would try real hard to show only the one correct Gov. corner on my drawing and the other would be labeled as a "Property Controlling Corner".

Good luck with that one.
