Mike,

Good question.  Robert Rinehart of this office was able to check the microfiche
of the Long Lane 15' map.  It appears that the three circles are part of the
number "1000" which is the elevation for a benchmark.  The symbol is right on
the section line between section 13 and 14, and the "BM" label is just inside
section 14.

   Hope this helps,
   Charley

Subject: Unknown Topo Symbol

On the 1942 15' Long Lane topo for Missouri, on the
western side of section 13, T. 34N, R. 18W, there are
three small circles side-by-side in a creek bottom.  They
look like this:  o o o

I am trying to figure out what these represent.  I checked
the "Part 5 Publication Symbols" for topos and they appear
to fit the description for wells of some kind.  However,
they are in a remote area, in a creek bottom, and they are
unusual in that they are very close together, evenly spaced,
and in a straight line.  I do not have access to the 7.5'
Bennett Spring topo, but my guess is they would not be
shown on that map.  Does anyone have another theory as to
what these represent?
