Closing Corner Of Subdivision

Closing corners are intended to be established where a closing line intersects a boundary already fixed in position. While the closing corner thereafter controls the direction of the closing line, a failure to place it at the true intersection does not alter the position of the line closed upon... (BLM, 1973, paragraph 3-73). A closing corner of subdivision of section is established where a rectangular survey section subdivision line, Indian Reservation boundary, or State boundary intersections a previously fixed boundary at a point between corners.
