Exactly what does the IRS agent think?

Can anyone help me find evidence of Coast Guard Geodetic Survey Marks/Monuments being placed on mountain tops to justify bringing Admiralty/Maritime Law onto the Land?

Benchmark Placement on Mountain Tops

Most of you reading this have probably been to a lot of summits which have had a benchmark in a prominent location that was easy to see. There may be a large rock at the summit and the benchmark will be cemented in place at the very highest point. Surveyors are concerned with visibility to other survey monuments and thus may place the benchmark near, but not actually on the highest point. The elevation of the benchmark will in these cases be lower than that of the true summit and the position as measured in latitude and longitude will not be that of the highest point.

Survey markers, also called survey marks, survey monuments, or geodetic marks, are objects placed to mark key survey points on the Earth's surface. They are used in geodetic and land surveying. Informally, such marks are referred to as benchmarks,[1] although strictly speaking the term "benchmark" is reserved for marks that indicate elevation.

Admiralty Maritime Jurisdiction Exposed.pdf (excerpt from page 7 below):

"As long ago as 1851 the Supreme Court recognized that the Congress has the power to extend the
jurisdictions of admiralty and maritime causes to the land under the commerce clause and deprive the
people of the right of a trial by jury. The following holding by the high court pretty much says it all.

"This power [of admiralty jurisdiction] is as extensive upon land as upon water. The
Constitution makes no distinction in that respect. And if the admiralty jurisdiction, in
matters of contract and tort which the courts of the United States may lawfully exercise
on the high seas, can be extended to the lakes under the power to regulate commerce, it
can with the same propriety and upon the same construction, be extended to contracts and
torts on land when the commerce is between different States. And it may embrace also
the vehicles and persons engaged in carrying it on. It would be in the power of
Congress to confer admiralty jurisdiction upon its courts, over the cars engaged in
transporting passengers or merchandise from one State to another, and over the
persons engaged in conducting them, and deny to the parties the trial by jury. Now
the judicial power in cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, has never been
supposed to extend to contracts made on land and to be executed on land. But if the
power of regulating commerce can be made the foundation of jurisdiction in its
courts, and a new and extended admiralty jurisdiction beyond its heretofore known
and admitted limits, may be created on water under that authority, the same reason
would justify the same exercise of power on land." Propeller Genessee Chief et al. v.
Fitzhugh et al. 12 How. 443 (U.S. 1851)
