A found corner is defined as what?

• A. A corner whose original or restored monument or mark is recovered, or whose position is established by one or more witness corners or monuments
• B. A corner found in a field boundary
• C. A corner defined by a river boundary
• D. A corner marked by a temporary stake

Answer: (A)

In surveying, a found corner means locating a corner that has real evidence on the ground: the original or a restored monument or mark is recovered, or the corner’s position is established using witness corners or monuments placed nearby. So you’re connecting the current boundary to the actual marker that defined it, either by finding the original marker or by reconstructing its position with corroborating clues from nearby markers. This relies on physical evidence rather than creating a new point from scratch. This differs from a corner that’s simply part of a field boundary, or one defined by a natural feature like a river, or a corner indicated by a temporary stake. Those scenarios don’t involve recovering or verifying the original corner marker or using witness markers to establish its exact position.
