Oklahoma Certified Corner Monuments

Since 1978, the State Archives has maintained the official collection of corner monument records filed by land surveyors registered in Oklahoma. Currently, over 250,000 corner records are on file.

The corner monument records do not include personal property surveys. Land ownership is a county record. Contact the County Clerk’s office for more information.

Original survey plats and field notes are available online at the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management’s Federal Land Records.
 

Registered surveyors are required to file methods and reference measurements used in establishing section corners throughout the state. For more information, visit the Oklahoma State Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors’ website to find:
