survey marker

Property boundary indicator

A survey marker is a permanent object placed by surveyors to mark a precise geographic location.

These are typically metal disks, concrete monuments, or iron rods set in the ground, often with inscribed coordinates or identification numbers.

Survey markers establish property boundaries, elevations, and reference points for mapping: Don't disturb that survey marker—it's a legal boundary point.

Also called a survey monument or benchmark.
