JDR/PVT

This boundary monument spotted on the abandoned Archbold estate is one of many we’ve found along park boundaries designated JDR/PVT. Today alone, we found four more very similarly stamped monuments on this property and the adjacent property to the north (Barberry Ledge, the old Rowell estate). There are also many stone markers, without disks, on the properties. The disk is in decent condition but the post is leaning at an angle. It appears to be solidly set, and so is probably good enough to indicate the correct historical boundary. (This area now belongs to Acadia National Park.)
