<br/>
well <br/>
monumented or marked on the ground <br/>
is what demarcation generally means<br/>
<br/>
but yes<br/>
to answer the excellent question you must have meant <br/>
<br/>
the delineation agreed to in the 1676 so called quintipartite deed <br/>
was actually marked in this case in 1687<br/>
tho only part of the way<br/>
per<br/>

especially pp 9&10<br/>
where dig these crazy but true maps<br/>
which indicate <br/>
among other fascinating things <br/>
that west jersey originally had a mystery exclave<br/>
tho its border was never marked<br/>
nor in all probability was its existence even realized at the time<br/>
<br/>
also you are probably aware that 5 modern county lines still <br/>
show traces of this old border<br/>

on which a 1687 survey marker could conceivably yet be <br/>
recovered<br/>
especially near the right bank of the raritan where that survey is <br/>
known to have terminated<br/>
& also near the southeasternmost dune of long beach island<br/>
its point of origin <br/>
<br/>
but good luck to anyone who tries<br/>
since they are both in such obviously fickle locations <br/>
& no other locations are known<br/>
<br/>
also <br/>
if any marker from this survey is ever found<br/>
i think it might be the oldest known working rock in america</div>
