Do you know if that's still true? It could be true, of course. I'm not
saying it couldn't be true. Just as you say, in remote areas, there's no
real need for a new survey. But it has been my experience that the majority
of those historical positions even in remote areas have been superceded by
measurements derived from aerial and, to a lesser extent, satellite imagery
in the past fifty years, at least in current, official charts.
