Markers are needed to mark the way in, or into any new territory or frontier.
The markers left by Joshua’s men were seen and noted by hundreds to tens of thousands that would come later.
One of the effective means of deception in wartime is to change the markers and road signs. Veterans told us that this tactic was used by the Germans in WWII and especially during the Battle of the Bulge.
The Markers also set boundaries of lines or limits etc.
The Mile markers on Interstate Hi-ways are most useful to travelers and more so to emergency personnel trying to find places of accidents.

Isaiah 43: (KJV)
2: When Thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when Thou walkest through the fire, Thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
