This Land Records Meetup was the first meetup in a serie dedicated to the US Public Land Survey System (PLSS).
Anyone who has built a PLSS data set is well aware of the multiple monuments that can be found at many PLSS corners. Over time land surveyors have set corners representing PLSS corners and sorting out the true legal position of the corner can be challenging. This discussion will not replace a legal survey opinion or research. Instead we will focus on strategies for representing porcupine monuments at corners, corner accessory monuments, and some best practices from states and local governments.
