In-Depth Information
also be noted. Monuments should be described on the plan with the following
information:
Monument type: Concrete Bound (CB), Stone Bound (SB), Pin.
Type of point in monument: Drill Hole in CB, Copper Pin in SB.
Whether the monument was Found, Set or Not Found.
Some examples are:
SB (fd.)—Stone bound found. There was no drill hole or other mark in the bound.
DH CB (fd.)—Drill hole found in concrete bound.
DH SB (set.)—Drill hole set in stone bound. This usually means that both the
bound and drill hole were set.
DH set in SB (fd.)—This would indicate that the stone bound was found and the
drill hole was set in the bound.
Cu Pin (set)—Copper pin set.
Al Pin (set)—Aluminum pin set.
DH (fd.)—Drill hold found.
SB (fd.) B&C—The back and center of a stone bound found.
If the precise location of an existing monument was held it should be so noted as
follows:
DH CB (fd.) Held.
If a point off the monument is held, for example if a monument has been dis-
turbed, it should be so noted along with a bearing and distance from the point
held to the monument. See Fig.
16.7
for example:
DH SB (fd) S86° 26' 02”E 0.54'. This means “A drill hole in a stone bound was
found South 86 degrees, 26 minutes and 2 seconds East, at a distance of 0.54
feet from the corner”.
Any other information that is specific to the monument. For example “Town line
Bound”.
