We found these while out caching. I tried to understand what to do but I just don't comprehend all of it. So if anybody would like to take this and run with it.

Tim,

 

The top monument is a witness corner to a private tract of land which abutts up against Forest Service land. The true corner is 47.0' @ S19degrees20'W, this was placed because in the true location it was not feasible to set the corner due to a road or creek or some other obstruction.

 

The second is a property corner.

 

The third is a private tract of land up against Forest Service property.

What do you do with it? Admire it and move on. These are not geodetic benchmarks and so are not loggable on the Benchmark site.

 

I suppose you could put them in Waymarking, but it doesn't seem worth the trouble to me as they are not all that remarkable.

O.K. Thanks. I understand a little more of it now.
