Here, for example, are rock mounds that I think the evidence shows are Charles Archer's from 1881 on the East, North, and South lines of Block D:
So, the original Archer mounds from 1881 are generally quite substantial things, with few exceptions.
Here, though, are some examples of the mounds at nominal miles South from the NW corner of Block D that are plainly on a trial line run at some time before about 1902.

One detail of interest has to do with the designations given to the blocks of surveys. Why a "D" series and why an "A" series? I don't think it's coincidental that the "D" blocks were located as a part of an effort apparently organized by a fellow named J.S. Daugherty. It makes sense to me that they were the Daugherty blocks, "D". The "A" blocks of GH&SA Rwy. Co. scrip were originally surveyed by a fellow named Archibald Bogle, so I would suspect that they were the Archibald blocks.
