For each corner, extensive searches of record information and subsequent selection of "best" sources were used to locate corners.  No field surveys were conducted to find questionable corners.  Where the only information available was from original Government Plats, BLM-GCDB data was used where possible.  If records identified multiple alternate positions for the same corner i, the County Surveyor determined which was to be used.  This was primarily the case where two monuments were labeled as the same corner and were within 3 feet of each other.</horizpar></horizpa></posacc></dataqual><dataIdInfo><envirDesc Sync="TRUE">Microsoft Windows 2000 Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 1; ESRI ArcCatalog 8.3.0.800</envirDesc><dataLang><languageCode Sync="TRUE" value="en"></languageCode></dataLang><idCitation><resTitle Sync="TRUE">Sections_Corners_KernCounty</resTitle><presForm><PresFormCd Sync="TRUE" value="005"></PresFormCd></presForm></idCitation><spatRpType><SpatRepTypCd Sync="TRUE" value="001"></SpatRepTypCd></spatRpType><geoBox esriExtentType="decdegrees"><westBL Sync="TRUE">-120.197691</westBL><eastBL Sync="TRUE">-117.609739</eastBL><northBL Sync="TRUE">35.808897</northBL><southBL Sync="TRUE">34.772059</southBL><exTypeCode Sync="TRUE">1</exTypeCode></geoBox><dataExt><geoEle><GeoBndBox esriExtentType="native"><westBL Sync="TRUE">1348152.155518</westBL><eastBL Sync="TRUE">2115735.943241</eastBL><northBL Sync="TRUE">840308.404863</northBL><southBL Sync="TRUE">469960.640806</southBL><exTypeCode Sync="TRUE">1</exTypeCode></GeoBndBox></geoEle></dataExt></dataIdInfo><mdLang><languageCode Sync="TRUE" value="en"></languageCode></mdLang><mdStanName Sync="TRUE">ISO 19115 Geographic Information -
