Found using the PLSS Finder offered by the state of Wisconsin, this is an amazing example of the way surveyors work during the late 1800's into the early 1900's. This amazing cast iron post still exists as an testament to the Monroe County Surveyors Office. It's an amazing site that has survived over 100 years.
