On November 5, 1991, <br />Roland Obering and I spent most of the day at the site attempting to <br />identify the property boundaries. Little did we know just how difficult <br />this would be. <br />To make a long story short, after finding key monuments, corner pins, <br />and fence lines we were unable to achieve correspondence between the <br />Assessor's map and the recently prepared topographic map. The east and <br />south property lines appeared to match quite well, the west line seem=_d <br />to be pretty good, but the north line does not correspond with the <br />section fence or much of angthing else, for that matter. It appears at <br />this time Mr. Loughrey MAY actually own about 70 feet less land in a <br />north to south direction than he thinks he owns. <br />All of this has a familiar ring. I encountered very similar problems <br />with section corners on a site a few miles east of this location that I <br />worked on several years ago. In that case, several different surveys <br />showed the section corner in different places with some discrepancies of <br />nearly 200 feet. It was finally decided that the accepted section <br />corner was the one that would be used in identifying the property lines. <br />In that case, the Assessor's map was wrong with respect to the accepted <br />section corner although correct with respect to the original survey, I~ut <br />I do not think they ever changed their maps. Because Frank Loughrey':; <br />land might be using the same baseline as that used on the other site :: <br />worked on, I aio really not very surprised there are problems here. It <br />is beginning to look to me like much of northern Teller County is <br />seriously fouled up with respect to exactly which survey should be used <br />to determine who owns what. <br />
