The northwest corner is currently designated as an obliterated corner. An obliterated corner is one in which the visible evidence of the original monument has disappeared, but the original location can be established beyond reasonable doubt from other physical evidence and/or testimony. A lost corner is defined as a point on a survey whose position cannot be determined from traces of the original marks or acceptable evidence or testimony.
