Saw a survey yesterday where the northeast corner and north quarter corner of Section 4 were set by single proportion based on found monuments at the northeast corner of Section 3 and the northwest corner of Section 6. Apparently there was no record of any surveys between those two points and no monuments were found and any evidence of physical evidence was dismissed. Knowing the crew involved, all reporting is based on the State Plane coordinates of the two found monuments. Difference between GPS and total station is about 0.4 feet per mile and their descriptions will not match total station measurments.
The bearing between the two found monuments was shown as a single value. Is this on a curve? Is this flat out straight as drawn in AutoCAD at that bearing and a distance of four miles? Who knows for sure?
What think ye?
