report; action upon report; appeal.

     (a) Upon hearing the matter as provided by W.S. 18-1-404
and if the court is satisfied that all proceedings have been
made pursuant to the provisions of W.S. 18-1-401 through
18-1-404 the court shall appoint a licensed surveyor who is not
a resident of either interested county to survey the disputed
boundary line. The court shall specify the time in which the
survey is to be made.

     (b) The surveyor shall take and subscribe an oath to
faithfully and impartially make a survey, and after making the
survey shall make a report in triplicate, one (1) copy to be
filed with the court and the others to be filed with the county
clerks of each county. The report will be signed and sworn to by
the surveyor and will contain maps showing the location of the
boundary line in the same manner as provided by W.S. 18-1-402.

     (c) When the report has been filed with the court, the
boundary line is fixed and designated as shown in the report,
unless the court sets aside the survey and report for being
insufficient or indefinite upon the application of either county
if made within sixty (60) days after the report has been filed
in the court.

     (d) Any order of the court concerning the boundary line
may be appealed to the supreme court, but the boundary line is
conclusive until set aside. In the event the order is set aside,
another surveyor may be appointed as provided by this section.
