All oil wells within three hundred feet of the boundary have been accurately located upon the ground, and the position of each, whether in Texas or in Oklahoma, is stated. From each oil well, a bearing and distance is given to a point on the boundary.
The boundary line is shown by the usual symbol and appropriate wording on the accompanying maps, which also show the positions of the witness posts, the oil wells, the reference monuments, the bench marks and other information usually appearing on such maps.

The monuments on the Oklahoma bluff are correlated with the United States General Land Office public land subdivisional survey. Each one is an iron post, 36 ins. long, 2 ins. diameter, having a bronze cap, the post being placed full length in concrete, in a galvanized iron form 36 ins. long, 8 ins. upper diameter, 14 ins. diameter at the base, set 30 ins. in the ground. These monuments are appropriately marked according to the standard specifications of the General Land Office. They readily identify the position of the monument in the United States rectangular survey system.
