  8. Typical Survey EquipmentMid-Late 1800’s Surveyor’s Chain Staff Compass

  9. General Descripton This is the description for T9S, R12E, WM The township where Warm Springs is now located. Note: The “URGENTLY NEEDED” work to subdivide some sections in 1871.

  10. Normal Subdivision SurveyRed = Surveyed Lines (7 miles of survey)

  11. Three Mile Rule SubdivisionRed = Surveyed Line, Green = Cardinal Direction

  18. Original GLO Notes Available at Local County Surveyor’s Office Or State BLM Office Either Micro-fiche or paper copies Pay by the sheet for duplicating costs Estimate 1 sheet per mile of surveyed line

  20. Final Notes on Second Page

  21. Beginning of 3 Mile Subdivision

  22. Brass Cap ¼ Corner Between Sec 34 T8S, R11E WM & Sec 3 T9S, R11E WM Problem: Missing GLO records to show when this brass cap was placed. Broken chain of evidence. Assume corner re-monumentation was done around the 1920’s? Lincoln E. Wilkes worked in adjacent township in 1918, but no plat filed for these townships. Records may be with state BLM office? Existing monuments not set firmly in ground.

  23. Need to Prove Correct Locations for Existing Brass Cap ¼ Corners My Solution: Use Original GLO notes for 3 mile rule subdivision of sections to find scribed stone monuments for the nine interior 1/16 corners within each section. If interior monuments agree with predicted positions from suspect brass caps on exterior boundary of section accept unknown sourced brass caps as accurate.

  24. Sample 1/16 Corner Breakdown of Section Note: Mounds are NOT corner monuments. Mounds constructed ALONGSIDE scribed stone monuments in cardinal directions (N,S,E,or W). Scribing normally on flat face on north side of stone monument. Occasionally on bottom of stone, may be partially buried in ground.

  25. Tools Used for Search of Stone Monuments

  26. Trimble 4700 Rover set on mound of stones near 1/16 corner.Sec 2 T9S, R11E WM

  27. 1/16 Corner Stone in Section 2 T9S, R11E WM Note: Split rail fence posts found in sagebrush. Remnants of stone fence to North. Stone temporary facing south for picture. Returned to original position after photo.

  28. 1/16 Corner Stone in Section 2 T9S, R11E WM Note: Mound to right of surveyor partially below juniper tree North of stone and stone partially buried.
