    50-1303.  SURVEY -- STAKES AND MONUMENTS -- ACCURACY. The centerline
intersections and points where the centerline changes direction on all
streets, avenues, and public highways and all points, witness corners and
reference monuments on the exterior boundary where the boundary line changes
direction shall be marked with monuments either of concrete, galvanized iron
pipe, aluminum pipe, iron or steel rods or other suitable monument approved by
the county surveyor; if concrete be used they shall not be less than six (6)
inches by six (6) inches by twenty-four (24) inches or in the case of public
highways the size of a state standard right-of-way monument, and be
magnetically detectable; if galvanized  iron pipe be used they shall not be
less than one (1) inch in diameter and thirty (30) inches long; if aluminum
pipe be used they shall not be less than one (1) inch in diameter and thirty
(30) inches long, and be magnetically detectable; and if iron or steel rods be
used they shall not be less than five-eighths (5/8) of an inch in least
dimension and thirty (30) inches long. Points shall be plainly and permanently
marked upon monuments so that measurements may be taken to them to within
one-tenth (1/10) of a foot. All lot corners, witness corners, and reference
monuments for lot corners shall be marked with monuments of either galvanized
iron pipe, not less than one-half (1/2) inch in diameter, or iron or steel
rods, not less than one-half (1/2) inch in least dimension and two (2) feet
long or other suitable monument approved by the county surveyor. All monuments
set shall be magnetically detectable and shall be permanently marked with the
registration number of the professional land surveyor in responsible charge.
All lot corners of a burial lot within a platted cemetery need not be marked
with a monument, but the block corners shall be placed within the cemetery in
accordance with sound surveying principles and practice, and at locations that
will permit the accurate identification of each burial lot within the
cemetery. The monuments shall be of either galvanized iron pipe or iron or
steel rods or bars not less than one-half (1/2) inch in least dimension and
two (2) feet long with marked cap; or caps not less than one (1) inch in
diameter. The locations and descriptions of all monuments within a platted
cemetery shall be carefully recorded upon the plat, and the proper courses and
distances of all boundary lines shall be shown, but may be shown by
appropriate legend. The survey for any plat shall be conducted in such a
manner to produce an unadjusted mathematical error of closure of not less than
one (1) part in five thousand (5,000).
