Cornerstone

The two small lots across the road that provide me access to the state forest preserve are described in relation to a Stone with an X engraved therein - and shown above.  The larger metal stake was driven by me to use as a line of sight with regard to another Quartz stone with an X engraved therein so that I could clear a right-of-way on my home property that would both give me access and fairly openly define my property line.  The smaller plastic rod was driven by a surveyor who was determining another property some distance away.  This seemingly casual property defining that has been here for a rather long period of time has always amazed me.  However it must be fairly definite for I know that some 20 to 25 years ago county surveyors spent a long period of time re-surveying from an old historically fixed point to resolve property issues further up route 272 - and of which in the way of boundaries led back to this stone.
