Boundary Markers
in the USSR, markers designating land-use boundaries. They are usually wooden posts 1.5 m high and at least 15 cm in diameter. An impression of the hammer and sickle and the letters “USSR” are burned into the top of the post. A stone, brick, or piece of glass is placed at the base of the post so that if the boundary marker is lost it can be replaced easily. A flat mound is built up around the post and a small ditch is dug around it. Boundary markers are placed at the turning points of boundaries; where boundaries extend in a straight line for more than 500 m, posts are placed at intervals of 500 m. Boundaries along rivers and lakes are marked only where they intersect land boundaries. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
