Parallel FunFacts
Brian,
Any opinion as to why Monument 490 is as
accurate as it is with respect to latitude? I assume that
monumentation of the 49th is as varied as it is due to the limitations of
older astronomical surveys, etc. Since "once it's marked, it's marked"
is the general rule, is fair to conclude that #490 was surveyed much more
recently than most of the other monuments?
Bill
