The monument for the corner of sections 15, 16, 21, and 22, Township 4 South, Range 95 West, Sixth Principal Meridian, Colorado, was determined to be out of position by more than 200 feet, although it was correctly depicted on the official BLM plat of survey, Group No. 571, approved July 11, 1977. Based on discussions and direction by BLM Colorado Cadastral Survey, Wasatch Surveying Associates set a private monument with a cap marked accordingly at the point of the true section corner location determined by the double proportionate method, as depicted on the survey plat filed by Wasatch Surveying Associates, February 13, 2017, Reception Number 1042, with Garfield County, Colorado, and on February 21, 2017, Reception Number 314038, with Rio Blanco County, Colorado. The displaced BLM monument was stamped “Alternate Monument” and buried 12 inches below ground level at the erroneous location.

The plat, in two sheets, incorporating the field notes of the dependent resurvey and subdivision of section 4 in Township 10 South, Range 77 West, Sixth Principal Meridian, Colorado, was accepted on March 29, 2017.
