I'm a bit confused as to what this is asking people to do, then, if the 
map is just markers that have already been found. Is this just saying 
that if we should happen to stumble upon something that looks like a US 
Survey Marker while we're out and about somewhere, we should report it 
so that someone can properly measure it and add it to the map?

I feel like I'm missing something. (Wouldn't be the first nor last time, 
I'm sure.)
