[time-nuts] Latitude and longitude question

[Glenn Powers]

My mother just became a surveyor. She loves to talk about her job.
If anyone has questions for her, I'll pass them along. Before becoming
a surveyor, she was a research chemist at Morton International.

I remember her saying something about a national monument system
(little markers in the ground, not the big public parks). I can't  
find the
link, but the National Geodetic Survey might be a good place to start:
