[edit] Merged

I merged List of Boundary Markers of the Original District of Columbia into this article. There's a bit of anti-copy-redundancy cleanup to be done, and I'm not sure the article's name is the best it could be, but I thought I'd at least get rid of the redundancy of two articles.

[edit] Northeast No. 1 Boundary Marker

There's a problem with this description at the source. Georgia Avenue is in northwest, not northeast D.C. It appears that they meant either Galloway or Gallatin street which are near the address given and start with a "G". Also Georgia Avenue is northwest of this site which means that the marker could not be "northwest" of the intersection of the two streets.

The stone was bulldozed and removed in September 1952 during the construction of a storefront at 7847 Eastern Avenue, NE, northwest of the avenue's intersection with Georgia Avenue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Da Stressor (talk • contribs) 19:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Compass Reading?

"Opposite sides were marked with the year, its compass reading..."

It's unclear to me what this means. A point in space does not have a compass reading, unless it is referring to the bearing of the line that it lies on.

Does anyone know what some of the monuments actually have inscribed on the back? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Northazimuth (talk • contribs) 23:17, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
