Seven Ranges Terminus
Seven Ranges Terminus, Surveying benchmark in Magnolia, United States.
Description
Seven Ranges Terminus is a surveying marker located in Magnolia where three counties meet. The granite stone with an inscribed X marks the starting point where land surveyors began measuring the territory.
History
The stone was placed on August 10, 1786, marking the start of surveying the Northwest Territory. This marker helped organize newly acquired lands for American settlement in the years that followed.
Culture
The rectangular survey system implemented at this location established methods for measuring and distributing land across the expanding United States territory.
Practical
The marker sits on private property, a short walk from the nearest public road. It's best to check access permission beforehand and wear sturdy shoes for the walk.
Did you know?
The granite has kept its original location despite past efforts to move it. Ground frost over the years has caused it to tip slightly to one side.
