When the boundary lines of
any county in this state are so indefinite that a portion of territory, by reason of
such indefinite description, is claimed by two counties, and such fact appears by
petition of the board of county commissioners of either county to the state
engineer, it is the duty of such state engineer, in connection with the county
surveyor of each of such counties, to run out and establish such lines as nearly as
may be in accordance with such defective description, fix and define such boundary
line by monuments in accordance with rules issued by the state board of licensure
for architects, professional engineers, and professional land surveyors, and to
furnish the board of county commissioners of each of said counties with a
description of such line as soon thereafter as may be practical, deposit such survey
as a land survey plat in each county, and file a Colorado land survey monument
record on each monument found or set, as specified in section 38-53-104. When
such line is established it shall be the boundary line between said counties, unless
one of said counties, within six months from the day of filing the description of said
line by the state engineer with the board of county commissioners of such county,
commences an action in a court of competent jurisdiction in this state to determine
and settle such disputed line, and prosecute the same with due diligence until its
final determination, or has settled such disputed line, within said six months, by
arbitration. If the county surveyor of either of such counties shall not appear or
assist the state engineer in making such survey after due notice so to do, it shall in
no manner affect or invalidate such survey, or the boundary lines as they may be
fixed by such state engineer.
