This picture shows some of the various corner markers (monuments) that you may find around Custer County. They represent information concerning both Public and Private property interests and are of value to all of us. They also represent a considerable amount of professional effort on the part of a Land Surveyor. It is the responsibility of all of us to protect and preserve these markers. If one of these markers is threatened with disturbance please contact this office and we can help to preserve this valuable and often historic monument and the information connected to it.
