HI, new to this fourm and new to the world of gps, as you can see by my name I do gold prospcting in western colorado, my question is,

I need to find the exact corner on blm maps of 1/4 -1/4 sections ( township range section) i need it to stake claims.
I have a Garmin Oregon 550t and bought and put in it the sd card topo us 24k (mountain central -co and ut sept 2008) but it did not help, if I put in coordinates it will tell me the township range and section it is in but not the corners so I still dont know where to get the exact coordinates so i can plot it on my gps and the hike to it, I have tried to use the blm web site but you can not get close enough on the map to get the exact corner, if I put the pointer ( on the blm map) on a known spot (like the corner of a road or the middle of a bridge) when I go to it with the 550t it will be off by several hundred yards or more.
any ideas?
HELP IS NEEDED

Thank you
