is using information from the old USGS bulletin. It was a brief<br/>
conversation, and I don&#39;t have the bulletin, and the surveyor<br/>
was going from memory, so don&#39;t rely on any specifics.<br/>

As I said, it raised in my mind the theoretical possibility,<br/>
but now I think it&#39;s not a valid concern, because the state<br/>
boundaries are terminated at an &#39;imaginary&#39; point where the<br/>
line meets the Canada/USA border, regardless of where the<br/>
monument is located.<br/>
