Has anybody heard of a bearing tree? I came across it on a hike in Wyoming. It is a small yellow metal sign nailed to a treeand very close to it is a benchmark. I am thinking it is up there to help find the benchmark but not sure. I had just never seen one before. Bm is from the Dept of the interior - BLM with the township and range numbers on it. The sign says it is evidently marking a corner of a tract or section. They were located about 50 feet off the main trail. I would appreciate any information on this.
