 This survey monument serves as the initial point for U.S. government surveys in the state of Florida.The 6 mile × 6 mile townships originate from here and are numbered by township (see survey township) depending upon whether they are north or south of this point, and are numbered by "range" depending upon whether they are east or west of this point.Thus, Township 3 South Range 26 East would extend from approximately 12 to 18 miles South of the monument, and would be positioned from approximately 150 to 156 miles East of the monument.
