(1) If bearing trees or objects are used, they must be located as nearly as possible at equal angles, and may not be farther away than 100 feet from the monument. Reference monuments must be used if no suitable object exists within 100 feet.

These monuments must be placed on a property line or at right angles to the monument being referenced and may not be farther than 100 feet from the monument being referenced. In addition, they must be marked with the nomenclature and distance to the monument being referenced.
