Closing Corner (CC)
A corner at the intersection of a surveyed boundary with a previously established boundary line. If during the survey of the public lands of the United States, the line connecting the last section corner and the objective corner on an established township boundary departs from the astronomic meridian by more than the allowable deviation, the line being surveyed is extended in a cardinal direction to an intersection with the township boundary, where a closing corner is established and a connection is made to the previously established corner. Closing corners are established to avoid excessive deviation from a cardinal direction which might be required to connect with the object corner on that boundary.
