Its the "Initial Starting Point" for when that subdivision was surveyed and platted.<br /><br />The land NW of this marker, bounded by Farrgut, Peninsular, Emerald and Winchell, were all part of a subdivision known as Westlawn. It was surveyed by U. Ernest Nelson in 1922, and all the borders and dimensions of the subdivision as well as the lots within were measured from that point. <br /><br />My guess is that the round cutouts used to hold metal medallions that showed the coordinates for the marker, based on the Willamette Stone coordinates.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838088464579135055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20029943.post-9046219809871350372011-11-04T21:38:09.420-07:002011-11-04T21:38:09.420-07:00Looks like a fencepost, at first glance.
