Along natural boundaries defined by wooden stakes, which corners shall be monumented?

End corners define the extent of the boundary line. When a natural boundary is marked with wooden stakes, you place monuments at the two end corners to provide durable, definitive reference points that allow the line to be reestablished even if the stakes rot or are removed. Monumenting every corner isn’t required and would waste effort, whereas marking only the middle would leave the endpoints undefined. So, the two end corners should be monumented.
