you are right that there are some slight differences among the 4 witness monuments i am talking about & i have no idea why you mention nje even if you really mean pae because their markers if any dont in either case announce nypa into its distinct sectors the way the monuments at dry pan nysw delpane & njnypa all together do if you see what i mean for you can on a map of the entire boundary which was remonumented between 1881 & 1885 so for that reason & to that extent these 4 rocks do differ stylistically & of course the leaner was also unique in specially commemorating the original ellicott survey but you really should see delpane because once more it will be like deja vu all over again
