Re: Survey Markings Question

If your surveyed lot is in a subdivision (housing development) then the
'found mon' will likely be what is referrenced on the face of the recorded
plat.  This are the control points that that the surveyor used to help
determine your boundary; the rest is trig, law, and experience.

If you are not in a formal plat, then the "mon" will refer to the section
corner or other monument (as required and called out by description/deed of
your land) to properly develop the boundary thereof.  These can be any
number of distances apart.  If you are west of the MISS., then likely it is
one of a number of corners set by government surveyors in the 1800s.
