Will Jeep for Cache Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) I found this benchmark (or what i believe is a benchmark) by chance this weekend. i have tried to find it on the database and gone through the "Me first" thread but i can't seem to find this guy. I could just be doing something wrong, this is the first bench mark for me. Can anyone help? It is un Utah, I believe Toole county or Juab county (it is near the line), and i think zip code 84626 Here is the Photo Edited March 18, 2007 by Will Jeep for Cache Quote Link to comment
Z15 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) What you found is a section corner. Its marking land boudary's and is not a geodetic control point. Edited March 18, 2007 by Z15 Quote Link to comment
lost02 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 We found a similar mark that is in the database DV1017. The only ones that appear to be in the database that are in Utah and start with T9S are: LO0041 and LO0042 (you can the stamping in the “view original datasheet” links. Quote Link to comment
Will Jeep for Cache Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Oh bummer. not a benchmark huh. Well it was fun to come accross anyways. thanks Quote Link to comment
68-eldo Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 As Z15 said this is a corner marker between sections of land. It’s in Township 9 south (T9S) and on the line between Range 2 west (R2W) and 1 west (R1W). It marks the corner of sections 13 and 24 of Range 2W and 18 and 19 of Range 1 W. I went to this web site and found the coordinates for the center of section 24 to be 40.021833,-112.013500 Plug that into Google Maps and see if that does not come close to where you found the marker.

68-eldo Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Added note, for Utah you can go to this web site for more information. If you click on the link near the bottom of the page you can search for Plats. When I did that I found the 1856 field notes for T9S R2W. Pretty cool. Quote Link to comment
+Kewaneh & Shark Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 The United States Governement Land Office (GLO), now the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), was given the responsibility of managing the Public Lands. State-wide surveys, for the purposes of land measurement & ownership, were done by the GLO. The survey marks they set were called Section Corners. Additional info about these types of marks can be found in these threads: Cadastral survey disk?, benchmark? BLM Cadastral Survey Marker Cadastral Disks, What is the difference: cadastral, geodetic?
