Description
PART OF CDN LANDMARKS COLLECTION, EST'D IN 1952 BY R.W. CLARK, D.L.S., S.L.S. THESE MARKERS SPAN OVER 200 YRS. OF CANADIAN SURVEYING & INCLUDE ITEMS FROM EVERY PROVINCE & TERRITORY EXCEPT NFLD.
TO MARK & IDENTIFY A SPECIFIC SITE ON THE BOUNDARY LINE OF A SURVEYED AREA
POST DESIGN INCORPORATES A FLARED COLLAR NEAR TIP, WHICH ANCHORED THE POST FIRMLY IN THE GROUND. IT COULD BE EASILY DRIVEN INTO THE SITE BUT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DISLODGE UNLESS IT WAS DUG OUT. THIS STYLE OF POSTWAS EFFECTIVE IN DISCOURAGING THEFT OR VANDALISM OF MARKERS. ELONGATED POINT WOULD FACILITATE PLANTING IN LESS-THAN-IDEAL GROUND CONDITIONS.
