IRON COUNTY REMONUMENTATION PROJECT
The Remonumentation Project is a program established by the State of Michigan and carried out by local county governments. The purpose of this program is to restore the original section corners, quarter corners and meander corners (known as GLO corners) of 1850 to their original position.
This program is designed to restore only the GLO corners on the perimeter of a section in order to reduce the surveying cost for the private property owner.
All GLO corners restored by this program have aluminum capped monuments at the corner position and are stamped to identify its position. Once the aluminum monuments are set in the ground, there are usually four bearing trees and one steel sign post referencing the corner position. Each corner is then recorded in the Register of Deeds office. This information is available to the public. Land surveyors who may be doing survey work in an area will be able to use these corners to reduce surveying costs.
When monumenting a corner, every attempt is made to use existing posts, pipes, pills, fence corners, road intersections and whatever else the property owner may be using to mark their corner position. There are very few instances when an existing corner is not accepted. If the existing corner is out of position according to the original GLO corner of 1850, then a new corner will be established. Since this program began in 1993, there have been over 800 corners restored in Iron County and fewer than one percent are different than the existing corner position.
If a new corner position is established as the section corner, quarter corner or meander corner, and the old existing corner is disregarded because of large discrepancies in bearing and distance according to the original GLO survey of 1850, then this causes a situation where there is a survey line according to the original survey of 1850 and an occupation line according to how the property is being used. A title company will only recognize the correct survey line but the land owner has the right to challenge the survey line versus the occupation line by trying to claim that parcel of land by adverse possession through the court system.
