Witness Corner to the Meander Corner

T15N R16W   S23/S26

 

 

 

 

Here's how we found the WCMC that was set in 1978 ... originally witnessing the meander corner at a distance of 106 feet, here there is only 25 feet left

 

 

 

 

 

After recording a position on the undisturbed monument we rehabilitate it by adding a new triangle memorial to make it more visible from the sky and add underground magnet accessories ...

 

 

 

 

We return yesterday (2 days later) to add a Witness Point monument further back to the west to anchor the section line only to find the land has cracked  at the point where we had driven the triangle and the mass has tipped and shifted towards the sea
