Survey Monument information

A survey monument is a marker that defines a geographic position on the face of the earth.  Each survey monument is permanently fixed to the land, and is often referred to in legal descriptions or maps identifying property rights.

Monuments can be found in the sidewalk, street, or at property corners.  These survey monuments are essential in maintaining the position of property lines, as well as elevation control.

Almost all field measurements performed by professional engineers and land surveyors are tied to survey monuments.  The survey monuments allow for the retracement (or mark the position) of features and legal rights on the earth's surface.  Survey monuments can also assist in monitoring earthquake activity, land subsidence, flood water studies, and GPS navigation.

California State law requires that survey monuments be protected. If a monument is disturbed for any reason, the replacement of the removed or disturbed monument will be at the expense of the person who disturbed it.  Refer to the San Leandro Municipal Code for more information.  The CA Land Surveyors Association Pamphlet also includes useful information.
