How far apart should monuments be set along any straight boundary line in a subdivision?

No more than 1,400 feet apart
No more than 1,000 feet apart
Not more than 2,000 feet apart
No further than 800 feet apart

The correct answer is: No more than 1,400 feet apart

The recommended distance for setting monuments along any straight boundary line in a subdivision is ideally no more than 1,400 feet apart. This guideline is established to ensure accuracy and reliability in surveying practices. When monuments are set at this distance, it allows for a manageable span that enhances the ability to reference neighboring markers and maintain alignment throughout the subdivision. Setting monuments further apart increases the risk of inaccuracies in boundary delineation due to potential misalignments or difficulties in identifying the exact location of the boundary line. Therefore, maintaining a distance of no more than 1,400 feet strikes a practical compromise between operational efficiency and the requirement for precise land delineation.
