Coordinates and Waypoints
Perhaps all of the 47 monuments are where we placed them. We can't know. That was part of the plan. Borders move and change.
We have compiled all of our GPS locations into a Google Earth .kmz file that can be opened with Google Earth. Please explore remotely or use the coordinates to visit in person. Links below:
After installing the Google Earth app simply double click the .kmz file to open it. Alternately, it can be opened through the application File menu. The waypoints can be permanently saved by using the Save My Places command.
Our version of the 1821 border with monument locations (Map compiled from Google Earth).

We have little doubt that monument 30 will be in Dodge City for a long time.
