i15 SWP Monuments

This dataset is a compilation of survey monuments as points used by the State of California, Department of Water Resources. The associated data is considered DWR enterprise GIS data, which meet all appropriate requirements of the DWR Spatial Data Standards, specifically the DWR Spatial Data Standard version 3.6, dated September 27, 2023. A survey monument can represent a boundary location or be used a precise location used for mapping and precise engineering measurements. Boundary monuments are the corners of parcels or lines of easements that can only be visualized on the ground by setting markers, or survey monuments. A survey monument is a physical marker that locates a corner or line on the ground. They can be on a line or offset from a line, on, above or below the surface, noticeable or almost invisible. They take many forms but the majority of the monuments set for the state water project are a varying diameter of metal pipe set flush or below the ground with an aluminum cap stamped with a number representing the point.
