Every licensed professional land surveyor is hereby authorized to make land surveys relating to the sale or subdivision of lands, the retracing or establishing of property or boundary lines, public roads, streets, alleys, or trails; and it shall be the duty of each licensed professional land surveyor, whenever making any such land survey, to set permanent and reliable magnetically detectable monuments, the minimum size of which shall be one-half (1/2) inch in least dimension and two (2) feet long iron or steel rod unless special circumstances preclude use of such monument; and such monuments must be permanently marked with the license number of the professional land surveyor responsible for placing the monument.
