First off, huge step in the right direction!
Secondly, and arguably most importantly after the fact, is knowing the nuances here. I've seen very few corners actually marked with permanent markers. Just because Onx or something else shows a boundary, it doesn't mean it actually is. Without undeniable physical evidence a person is still taking a risk crossing these corners.
An example; last I heard WY doesn't require private land to be marked. So, if Onx shows a corner and you cross it and a physical marker doesn't exist it's a Hail Mary on your part. Hopefully it is the legal corner but if it's not, and a landowner chooses to trespass you, you have no grounds to stand on (pun intended, sorta).
All I'm saying is this is far from over and will likely result in more trespass tickets than before. Maybe DOGE will appropriate funds to mark every single boundary
Know the risk, is all I'm saying.
Also, I'm glad this rich-moronic landowner around Elk Mountain got the shame he deserved. For once, money didn't decide the outcome.
Here is the case. Full of great info about the case and public land history.
