Survey oj Oyster Bars, Somerset County, Mrf. Si 



The sixth column, under the heading of "Distance," gives the three computed 

 distances in yards from the corner of the crab bottom noted in the first column to the 

 three triangulation stations named on the corresponding lines in the last column, and 

 vice versa. 



The seventh and last column, under the heading of "U. S. C. & G. S. triangulation 

 station," gives the names of the landmarks from which were computed the corresponding 

 "Latitude," "Longitude," "True bearing," and "Distance" of the "Corner of the 

 bottom" designated in the first column. A full description of the location and markings 

 of these triangulation stations is given in another part of this publication, under the 

 heading of "Descriptions of landmarks." 



The descriptive note of the shore line boundary which usually follows the description 

 of the last corner on the tabular form and sometimes between intermediate corners 

 which happen to fall on land requires no explanation, other than to state that the 

 laws of Maryland reserve to riparian owners all waters of "any creek, cove, or inlet less 

 than one hundred yards in width at its mouth at low tide." 



SURVEYING METHODS FOR RELOCATION OF BOUNDARIES. 



There are a number of methods that can be used in the relocation of the actual 

 boundaries of the crab bottoms as technically described in this publication and delineated 

 on the published charts of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, but as they are practically 

 the same as those required for the relocation of ovster-bar boundaries the description of 

 the "Surveying methods for relocation of boundaries" under the heading of " Boundaries 

 of oyster bars" in this publication will be sufficient to indicate several methods that can 

 be used in the relocation of crab-bottom boundaries.
