On Jan. 12, a survey crew from McCarty Associates in Hillsboro trekked nearly three miles of boundary lines with over 350 feet of elevation change east of U.S. 52, and the effort paid off in a big way. McCarty Associates surveyors "were thrilled to uncover original set stones from the French Land Grant surveys of the late 1790s, marking the corners of Lots 18, 19, and 20."
