"I know the physical location ...".
That's something that bothers me about my plot description.
I don't see anything absolute. I guess that everything is built as a
reference from some point that is not on the page that I have. I don't see
any acknowledgement of any physical starting point.
Consumer GPS is fine for locating the existing corner markers left by some
surveyor, but certainly isn't accurate enough for putting those markers
there.
An error radius of 20 feet or more allows detection of the tall wooden
poles used on my property as survey markers for four out of five marks. I
never did find the one corner that is obscured in heavy brush and trees. I
think I circled around it, but I couldn't find it.
I also couldn't locate my exact ingress point on the cliff for egress. I
missed it, and looking at the track later, I might have been close, but I
can't trust the track within 20 feet either.
