Had researched the city and county files for recorded surveys over the 60 years since the creation of the subject subdivision and the adjoining subdivision.?ÿ Very little found.?ÿ Contacted a fellow surveyor who has accumulated surveys from former survey shops.?ÿ Still very little to go with, but much more than I had.?ÿ Three drawings were for mortgagee title inspections and each was tied to a single bar found.?ÿ Three of the drawings were made by now-deceased surveyors.?ÿ One was from the adjoining subdivision but far from my target area.?ÿ There is no connection between the seven plats.?ÿ Each surveyor had made their best guess as to where things probably should be.
But, the high point of all this is that we have surveyors working for the benefit of the public by helping other surveyors where they can.?ÿ Our profession needs much more of this type of attitude.

People needing other people ARE the LUCKIEST PEOPLE in the world.
A surveyor called me today after he found some of my pins that he didn't understand.?ÿ I sent him the drawing which apparently hadn't been recorded yet and it cleared it all up for him.?ÿ Conversely, I am working in a subdivision created in 1974, drawn on a large sheet then scaled down to fit in a letter sized deed book for some fifteen large lots.?ÿ Mostly illegible and the surveyor is now deceased.?ÿ No help for me.
Just chatted with a surveyor working in a famous BLM messed up area, trying to make sense of it, hopefully I helped him out, there is another one working a few miles west in the same area and he's telling me he found something at the one quarter corner I didn't recover anything for.
