Idaho P.L.S.#7379Fellow Surveyors:
I am performing a Section breakdown and have some questions concerning the breakdown of Section 20, Township 34 North, Range 3 West., Nez Perce County, Idaho.
A brief overview:
1) The original government survey of this section was performed in 1897 and was a completion survey to an earlier government survey dated 1870.
2) The BLM performed additional work in 2012.
3) All of the 2012 BLM monuments have been found and verified.Enclosed please find:
1) Jn1230orgsur.pdf (the original 1870 Government survey of Section 20)
2) Jn1230blmsurvey1.pdf (the 2012 BLM survey around Section 20)
3) Jn1230blmsurvey2.pdf (the 2012 BLM survey around Section 20 blown up)
4) Jn1230blmsurvey3.pdf (the 2012 survey along with my notes added)I need to establish all the positions shown with triangles.
Questions I have are:
1) Is point 7, east line of Section 20, half way on line between point 6 and point 8?
2) What is the northwest corner of Section 20, point 1 or point 2?
3) How do you set point 3, the N. ¼ corner, a lost corner?
4) How do you set point 13, the N. 1/16 corner on the west line of Section 20?
5) How do you set point 14, the C.N. 1/16 corner?
6) Are your answers listed or justified in the Manual of Instruction?
7) If so, please list the sections.
8) If not, do they come from another source?There appears to be many good answers including straight line proportion, weighted mean bearings, weighted original acreages, holding fence intersections over procedure but I really need a reference to the Manual of Instruction or other documented procedure. Who wants to throw in?
I want to thank you in advance and if you have any questions please call or email my office.
Sincerely,
Terry T. Golding
