I'm deciphering some D.L.C. notes and I keep seeing "Set a post marked W.P.S. from which I ran..."
Any Ideas what WPS stands for?
It seems they are all associated with Meander lines.

I believe the Surveyor was just calling out "witness points" but the "S" has got me stumped. In the manual it says WP is witness point and the S is the section and is to be followed by the section number, but my notes do not indicate section number.

Could it be "Witness Post Set"? Around here it could be a post, pipe, pin or the evil POINT. Maybe its nocal custom but when I see "S" at the end I always think "Set".

I usually see WP as Witness Post here, S is common shorthand for Steel.
These are generally on Form 6 (Permenant Survey Mark Location sketches) though, not Cadastral plans.
