Hey Cathaus, tell me again where you are? Just hoping you are some where around Plain Dealing. I am stuck up here hoping for something coming this way! The landmen aroung here skipped smooth over us and started knocking on doors in southern arkansas, not sure what that means.
Coonman,
Was the "X" in a paved road? Was is 3 or 4 feet tall?
If so, it could be a control point used to rectify aerial photos. If that is what they are, there would be others some where in the project area. Aerial photography is often used on large scale mapping projects because they show current improvements and contitions.
Smaller "X" 's are ofen painted on property corners or section corners, etc. that fall in paved areas.
Just some possibilities, I'm sure there could be others.
