If a surveyor sets a monument, what specific information must be shown on the drawing?

When a surveyor sets a monument, it is important to provide detailed information for future reference and to ensure accuracy in land surveys. The type and size of the monument are essential pieces of data. The type indicates the specific form or construction of the monument, which may be critical for distinguishing it in the field and ensuring it can serve its purpose of marking boundaries effectively.

The size of the monument is equally important as it may influence how it is placed and the visibility or stability of the marker. Knowing the dimensions helps others who may reference the survey understand the specifics of what to expect in the field.

Including only the location of the monument would not provide sufficient information about its characteristics. Not detailing the size or the type would leave gaps in knowledge that could lead to confusion in future surveys. Therefore, specifying both the type and size helps ensure that anyone referring to the survey can interpret the information correctly and can recognize and confirm the physical monument as intended.
