Lat/Longs on Surveyors Graves

While speaking to another local surveyor I was told about a web site or on-line database on which you can post Latitude and Longitude of deceased surveyors graves.  He did not have much detail on this, he thought it might have been sponsored but one of the national associations.  I was wondering if anyone knows more about it so I can check it out.

Thanks

I haven't heard about it.

I hope you are not planning on dying anytime soon?

I'm getting the cold sweats just thinking about a surveyor twenty years from now, insisting on digging up a body and moving it because the published coordinates of the grave do not precisely match his new measured coordinates.    Scary indeed!

Go ahead, laugh, it could be your body they move!!!!!

Go to http://www.nspsmo.org/_data/global/images/NSPSF_FinalPoint101110.pdf  I believe this is the program you are referring too.

To further perpetuate their memory, you could get the marker into the NGS data base.

I see the disk doesn't have an obvious datum point, and not a lot of room to add a puhch mark near the middle.  Poor design in that regard.

The stamped coordinates shown in the exampe are to about a foot precision, but don't include the datum tag needed to make even that meaningful.
