+Tripletsjeepin Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Ok I found this pipe cap out in Yogo Gulch. I did not get a GPS reading off of it and I can't seem to find it on the Geocaching page. I can only tell you of other benchmarks nearby. It was located in Judith Basin County. Montana (MT) RW0032 and RW0033 Are the closest BM to the one I'm looking for. The postal zip code from that area is 59452 What are other ways for finding these things. Heres a pic. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+conradv Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 That is a GLO quarter corner monument. (The East Quarter Corner of Section 22, and the West Quarter Corner of Section 23, set in 1915) It's a Survey Mon. You can look at old GLO maps (at your county courthouse) to see locations of section corners. Originally, most corners were these GLO caps, but as time went by, and they got destroyed, or corrected, a lot have been replaced by Registered Land Surveyor (RLS) caps. Quote Link to comment

+Tripletsjeepin Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 This is great I am learning alot. I will have to dive into this more indepth. My wife thinks this is the most boring thing in the world to get excited over. Thanks everyone for the info. One more question? Is this disk going to be on the Geocaching web site?? Thanks again Quote Link to comment
+Black Dog Trackers Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Is this disk going to be on the Geocaching web site?? No, but you can log it on the associated site: Recovered US Benchmarks. Quote Link to comment
