cursory location of post
http://topozone.com/map.asp?
z=15&n=5461446&e=343569&s=500&size=l&datum=nad83&layer=DRG250

state of the tripoint try itself
so far as i know
http://www.bjbsoftware.com/corners/pointdetail.php3?point=149

but note bus&ss mentions the 2 reference marks shown
in the above topo for indirect demarcation of this
turning point
as being in n lat 49d23m04s49
& as shown perhaps more clearly here albeit without
those markers
http://topozone.com/map.asp?z=15&n=5472185&e=343739&s=50&size=l&u=2&layer=DRG25

this lat is curiously distinct from the official ibs
latitude given here
http://www.internationalboundarycommission.org/coordinates/LLakeWo.txt
which is in fact 35 hundredths of a second or say 35
feet farther south
as well as about 15 feet east the longitude suggested
by bus&ss

not that these differences would necessarily have been
perceptible with a commercial gps receiver or 2

& the true location of the tripoint is most probably
the position stated by the ibs as turnpoint 1 anyway

so there is no quibble to be made here
but just a slightly open question & perhaps some short
distance still left to go
