What this is
A map of permanent survey markers that help engineers and builders measure land accurately across Oklahoma City.
Why it matters to you
These metal or concrete markers (called “monuments”) are the foundation for all property surveys and construction projects. When a developer builds a new shopping center or when your neighbor puts up a fence, surveyors use these exact points to confirm boundary lines. If markers go missing or get damaged, it can delay construction projects and even lead to property disputes.
How to read this data
Key fields include:
- Status: Whether the marker is currently usable (like “Active” or “Destroyed”)
- Condition: Physical state (like “Good” or “Needs Repair”)
- Monument Type: What it’s made of (e.g., “Brass Disk” or “Steel Rod”)
- X/Y Coordinates: Precise map locations (for professionals with GIS tools)
Where this leaves you
This isn’t something you’d look up for your home address—it’s specialized infrastructure for surveyors. But if you ever see a metal disk stamped “OKC CONTROL” in a sidewalk, now you know it’s part of the city’s measurement backbone.
