Bill93 7 Posted November 20 I saw reference to this posting about a former Native American boundary that someone has placed disks along. The unusual feature is that the disks are marked "NOT A SURVEY MARKER." Scroll down in the linked page to find pictures. https://masonellis.wordpress.com/2013/01/20/in-search-of-the-quapaw-line/ Quote Share this post Link to post
kayakbird 4 Posted November 20 Bill93, Thanks for the link to history (again!). Any clue at all to when they were placed? Maybe as a reference object in a PID'd mark? MEL Quote Share this post Link to post
Bill93 7 Posted November 23 Sorry, I haven't researched this. I was just struck by the irony of what looks like a survey market that says it isn't. Quote Share this post Link to post
foxtrot_xray 2 Posted November 26 Hah, that's really interesting and neat. Now I'm tempted to have a few custom disks made that simply say, "This is not what you're looking for." ... 50 years from now, someone will find it and go, "What?!" Quote Share this post Link to post
Bill93 7 Posted November 26 But if you put one too close to a bench mark some geocacher will still claim a find for it. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
