EXAMPLE OF RIVER LOT MARKER, FROM A CROWN LANDS SURVEY CONDUCTED IN UPPER CANADA IN 1842. RIVER LOTS WERE ROUGHLY 2 MILES IN DEPTH, GENERALLY NARROWEST ALONG THE RIVER (REF.2 P.50)

TO IDENTIFY THE PRECISE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF A SPECIFIC SITE, AS DETERMINED BY A SURVEYOR.

EXAMPLE OF A STONEMARKER USED IN MONUMENTING THE CORNER OF A RIVER LOT. CROWN LANDS SURVEYS (PRE-1867) OF LOTS ENTAILED MARKING ONLY THE FRONT BOUNDARY OF A LOT. DOMINION LANDS SURVEYS (1870S+) MARKED ALL FOUR SIDES OF A LOT- GIVEN THE IRREGULAR SIZE & WORK INVOLVED, RIVER LOT SURVEYS OF LATER PERIOD COST 9 TIMES MORE THAN STANDARD LOT SURVEYS (REF.2 PP.43-50).
