Monumenting Lot Corners in an Irregular Section

I'm working on a survey in Santa Clara County in Section 20, an irregular section that is fully lotted (16 lots). When monumenting the lot corners, should they be marked as 1/16ths ?
The only thing I could find in the manual on lot corner monuments pertains to elongated sections.

Good question! I wouldn't do it that way to avoid confusion. I always have to triple check everything when deeds interchange aliquot portions with lots. I have found that some of the original patents even interchanged them as the original surveys developed. Either one would probably be technically correct but we know that lotting gets weird sometimes.
If you are talking about stamping the caps, I would go all out and put a cross with all 4 appropriate lot numbers on each corner cap if I could.
This sounds like a cool project, I've never had an opportunity to monument an entire section like that!
