brings up a good point. Without some sort of indexing tab on the
cover it is almost
impossible to put the cover back in exactly the
correct positioin. We had the same problem
at the
6th Principal Meridian on the KS-NE line. The cover was not oriented
correctly. We
tried
to put it back in the correct position but it most probably was a few degrees
off.
That's
one reason why the below grade fixed plate is the defining tri-point, not the
manhole
cover. A better solution is the IN-MI-OH
tri-point cover which is square thus simplifying
getting the correct orientation.

Mike, did you be sure to "re-orient" the cover
plate when you resealed it? That would really give subsequent visitors
something to think about...
