[or-roots] Aliquot parts

Just a Note in reference to Section Markers.
You will not find too many in developed areas but on national forest, State and Blm land you will find small yellow squares on trees, posts, and in Eastern Oregon in the ground next to cattle guards bronze on Concrete base's I learned to read them years ago, they are all called witness posts or trees, Etc and when you locate one you can find where you are on a map if you are not sure where you are.
I looked at this site and it is good.
