Crossing Closing Corner
A term used to describe a corner set where a township or section line intersects (crosses) the line of a surveyed mineral claim, forest homestead claim, small holding claim or the like. "A closing corner monument is not set at intersection with the line of a surveyed mineral claim, forest homestead claim, small holding claim or the like, unless required to provide an interval monumentation of one half mile or less. In instances crossing closing corners may be needed for operational or litigation purposes, in which event they should be provided for in the special instructions." (BLM, 1973, paragraph 3-71).
