These small, often inconspicuous objects demarcate the boundaries of land parcels. They can take various forms, including iron rods, pipes, concrete monuments, or even natural features like rocks or trees, precisely positioned and documented by licensed surveyors. An example would be a capped iron rod driven into the ground at the intersection of two property lines.
Accurate boundary delineation is crucial for preventing property disputes, ensuring accurate land conveyance, and facilitating construction and development. These markers provide a physical and legal record of property limits, protecting landowners’ rights and enabling clear title transfers. Historically, boundary markers have ranged from simple piles of stones to elaborately carved monuments, reflecting the ongoing importance of defining land ownership.
