Anyone can draw a circle and center it anywhere they want to? What does it mean and what and where is the reason for the circle, triangle and tangents? Don't make sense to me?
You are correct Franklin. Anyone can draw a circle and center it anywhere they want to. This particular circle is using the state boundary markers as points of reference.
This would be the reason behind it. These points of reference are survey points. They are fixed points and will "never" move.
Circles, triangles, and tangents are used in geometry. Geometry is used in the field of surveying.
