I thought they were painted. Seemed like over spray around them and no signs of new install - but I only looked at a few last fall.

I noticed that the markers along the border have been re-done recently. Does anybody know anything about this project. Was in a joint U.S. / Canada project?
Are the locations and marker numbers mapped?

I guess I should have looked around first. I figured it would be very difficult to find but I found the map at the link below which has all the marker locations and numbers.

The first time I paddled crooked lake, I saw one and only one. Now, whenever I'm up on the border I see a ton of them. Not sure if new, or if I just easily recognize the subtle shape/size of them along the lakeshores.

Nearly all of the markers along the US-Canadian border are not on the border at all, but are survey markers from which the actual border (almost all on water) can be triangulated.

The only marker number locations I've seen were on a USGS Topo maps. I've only seen the old style markers.
