47-20.1-01. Purpose
It is the purpose of this chapter to protect and perpetuate public land survey corners and
information concerning the location of such corners by requiring the systematic establishment of
monuments and recording of information concerning the marking of the location of such public
land survey corners and to allow the systematic location of other property corners, thereby
providing for property security and a coherent system of property location and identification of
ownerships, and thereby eliminating the repeated necessity for re-establishment and relocations
of such corners where once they were established and located, and, to authorize any registered
land surveyor to locate, erect, maintain, record and perpetuate landmarks, monuments, section
corners, quarter corners, meander lines or boundary lines heretofore or hereafter established.
