| Reference: Stamps on surveying rods and property line markers Reference information: For a visual reference of stamps and information about a company called "Cotton Surveying", see links below. Seeing different stamps may help, and knowing that the stamped rod is the starting point for the most recent boundary survey may help you understand the context more thoroughly. The first reference link is a page of photographs of different stamps, many historical. The second reference link a listing for a company called "Cotton Surveying" in TX, who may well have done this property boundary at some point in time. They are a national US land survey company.
