FxwAmxrmm In November of 2023, the Dunn County Surveyor's Office found a 3YW' diameter aluminum cap (marked St. Croix County) in concrete on the southerly side of a wood fence corner post. Five ties according to Rusch's 1993 tie sheet were found. The original government bearing trees were searched for, but not found. The area around the aluminum cap was scraped to remove leaves and other debris, but no further evidence of the quarter corner was found. Amagnetic locator was used wsearch the area around the aluminum cap, but nnfurther evidence vfthe quarter corner was found. The aluminum cap fell approximately 5 feet short of the distance from the northeast corner of section 12 reported in the original government survey. The aluminum cap fell approximately 16 feet short of the distance from the southeast corner of section 12 reported in the original government o"may. Because the aluminum cap was found on the southerly side ofe fence corner post, and because the distances from the adjacent section corners compared well with the distances reported in the original government survey, the aluminum cap in concrete was accepted as the best evidence of the quarter corner's location. mmmmwm° GREGG D.

'230151,22000 PUBLIC LAND SURVEY MONUMENT RECORD i N S T R U C T 1 0 N S Identify the corner by re re rence to the U.S. public land survey system. 0 = Corner monument restored. This record Sha I I show the I oca t i on of the comer and sha I I include all of the following nine elements (a through i). IfflaqUITITIM b ) Describe any record evidence, monurnen t evidence, occupational evidence, testimonial ev I derfce or any other material evidence you considered, and whether the inonuffient was found or placed. To my knowledge there are no surveys of record which tie to this monument. The Town line was run by James E. Freeman in 1849. Occupation dates to before the turn of the century. Original Government notes identify a 30" white pine N25OW 34 links. We believe we found traces of the tree roots and discolored soil on top of the sandstone and 1-limestone bedrock. It matcthes the bearing and distance from an old fence corner. There were no other significant trees in the immediate vicinity. There was a large linden tree obliterating the area of the original 12" sugar maple at S60OW 21 links, but we might have found pieces of that root as well. It also appears that there has been no need for 1/16 line fences at either the N1/16 or SI/16 since before the 1930s. Local residents knew where their line fences had been, but had no knowledge of any survey work or monuments in the area. (c) In the plan view drawing below, provide reference ties to at least 4 witness monuments, or, if the location is within a municipality, to at least 2 witness monuments. (Witness Monuments shall be made' of concrete, natural stone, iron or other equally durable material. Describe witness monuments. d ) Show a plan view drawing depicting the relevant Monuments and reference ties which is sufficient in detail to enable accurate relocation of the corner monument if the corner monument is disturbed.

The line was originally run in 1849- distances both ways from this monument were 40 Chains. We measure to an iron set by C. Grubb as the SE Corner of Section 1 a distance of about 2634.5'. We measure to a found monument which was set as the SW Corner of Section 7, T30N, R14W, a distance of about 2623.7'. The distance continuing north from the NE Corner of Sec. 12 is only about 11 longer than 2634.5'; the distance continuing south from the SE Corner is about 2631.2'. The Position determined from field investigation is within seconds of being on a straight line. A standard monument for St. Croix County was set. r) Was the corner restored through acceptance of ( 1 ) an obliterated evidence location, or, (2) a found perpetuated location?
