Everett served as the Arkansas State Surveyor for many years and his wife worked as secretary to the Arkansas Secretary of State.?ÿ
David Knowles, Phd, LS, PE said the following about him after learning of his passing:
"What a loss. No one has done more for advancing the surveying profession in Arkansas than Everett Rowland. When ASPS needed help (legislation or regulations) Everett got it done. This was in addition to all his accomplishments as State Surveyor. The book "The U.S. Public Land Survey System for Arkansas" would not have been written without his help. In addition he was a very good friend. I will miss him.

Everett will be missed. Joined him in many fried catfish dinners during his stints as State Land Surveyor. Was always there to give advice.
Very sorry to hear this. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
