Geological Survey to designate an existent corner of the public-land surveys which has been recovered by field investigation.Ĭorner, indicated-A term adopted by the U. Even though its physical evidence may have entirely disappeared, a corner will not be regarded as lost if its position can be recovered through the testimony of one or more witnesses who have a dependable knowledge of the original location.Ĭorner, found-A term adopted by the U. Closing corners are also established at the boundaries of reservations, grants, claims, and other previously surveyed or segregated tracts of land.Ĭorner, double -Normally the two sets of corners along a standard parallel the standard township, sections, and quarter-section corners placed at regular intervals of measurement additionally, the dosing corners established on the line at the points of intersection of the guide meridians, range, and section lines of the surveys brought in from the south.Ĭorner, existent -A corner whose position can be identified by verifying the evidence of the monument, or its accessories, by reference to the description that is contained in the field notes, or where the point can be located by an acceptable supplemental survey record, some physical evidence, or testimony. A second set, closing corners, are established at the point where the survey lines from the south intersect the standard parallel.
Corners established at the time the standard parallel is run are termed “standard corners” and govern the surveys to the north. These were formerly established at varying intervals up to 60 miles.
To compensate for convergence of the meridians, standard parallels (once termed “correction lines”) are established at intervals of 24 miles. Ĭorner, closing -A corner at the intersection of a surveyed line with a previously established boundary line.
See also corner, meander corner, quarter-section corner, sixteenth-section corner, section corner, standard corner, township. Not the same as monument, which refers to the physical evidence of the corner’s location on the ground.
