Monumentation is the establishment of permanent on-the-ground objects that mark exact locations of surveyed points and lines. They are the legally binding markers used for setting property lines and as such are the culminating work of any survey. They consist of both corner monuments as well as nearby accessory objects that "witness" to them.

This template is not intended to generate overlays. See {{Superimpose}}. mark_link: Specifies a wiki link which will be followed if the reader ...

Optional multiple markers, text labels, numbered dots, live wikilinks and other graphical elements. A link (top right corner) to a fullscreen interactive version, which can have 'dots and details' from the article/map. A mini-locator map can be shown to provide context for the map.
A boundary marker, border marker, boundary stone, or border stone is a robust physical marker that identifies the start of a land boundary or the change in a boundary, especially a change in direction of a boundary.
