Identification of Monuments

After making due allowances for natural changes, a monument to be identifiable should not differ from the following:

1. The character and dimensions of the monument in evidence should not be widely different from the record.
2. The markings in evidence should not be inconsistent with the record.
3. The nature of the accessories in evidence, including size, position, and markings, should not be greatly at variance with the record.

Accessories are considered as part of the monument; their identification, without finding the monument can fix the position of the: monument and restore an obliterated’ corner to its, original location. A search for a monument includes a search for all accessories.
