Survey Markers

Description

Three cast iron survey markers, two with a pointed 'spike' shape and the other in a lobed bar section. Survey markers are objects placed to mark key survey points on the Earth's surface. All sorts of things, ranging from the familiar brass disks to liquor bottles, clay pots, and rock cairns, have been used over the years as survey markers.
