N & M RICHARDSON SURVEYOR STONES - U.S. Historic Survey Stones and Monuments on Waymarking.com

Instead of listing all these separate I thought I would place them in a list type Waymark.

The Original Survey of Cassville,Missouri was performed by the Surveyors,
N & M RICHARDSON
June,30 1845.
Incorporated as PARKVILLE March,3 1847.
At an unknown date the name was changed to CASSVILLE.

The town was laid out and the stones all set at their respective intervals,there were many. I can only locate 10 or so of the original stones and that is what this list is,6 of the remaining and a couple of surprises in between.

1.
This is the dressed stone at the listed coordinates of this WAYMARK.
The stones measure approximately 8" X 10" X 24".
They all are set 12" and above ground about 12".
