1. Brass Range Marker Marker

Inscription. This Brass Range Marker surveyors originally used, was located on the old Iosco County Courthouse in the 1800's. M.C. Harting's daily path to the Courthouse by his Abstract office took him by the "stake” for over 50 years. The stake and the concrete base survived the construction of the new County building and the Jail in the 1950's, but was yanked from the ground in 1986 during the expansion of the jail, there by destroying the value for surveying
