    I would guess so on the date stamp, you could probably find more SECTION CORNER markers if you look at the map I posted and have a hand held GPS, using the one you found as a benchmark

    There is some crazy shit out there STILL in much of the country... OLD rock piles as markers, old black oak trees as corners, etc... But the wildest markings are on the Spanish land grant areas where everything is crooked and aligned with something like the Mississippi River or the Colorado River...

    Hannibal Missouri and Louisiana Missouri are really jacked up since they are very old towns, everything was aligned with some curvy ass waterway in the area:
