Boundaries drawn on photos

Here's another example. This one is a postage-stamp-sized parcel that extends under a lake. The numbers refer to corner numbers shown on the map of the survey and used in the metes and bounds description.

Note that these boundaries will float on water, too. This was taken on a hot day in July. In the Pacific Northwest, you might want to rethink some elements of this. :>

This is great stuff, Kent. This has always been one of the types threads I had the most fun reading at another forum.

Actually, a lot of people go swimming in the rivers and streams right about now. 🙂

Well, I'm going to bet that they'd trade 76°F Central Texas lake water for that Pacific Northwest snowmelt water. :>

Well.....maybe.....but once they get that 76ºF Central Texas lake water up to the Pacific Northwest, don't you think it will get cold anyway?

Oh, we just leave it in the lake here and sell timeshares.

I'm not much of a swimmer, but UGH, 76° would be far too warm for me.

You shouldn't be showing these pictures. Once people realize your magic "camera" on the tripod can SEE the lines, they won't be willing to pay you to spend all that time looking around.

hahaha.....good one Bill93.....You do know that is what they already think you see when you look through one of them transit-telescope thingies, don't you? A lot of people don't even think you need to set over a monument and backsight another point.

Fact

When the air temp is near 100, water temp of 85 feels nice and cool.

Fact

Yeah, I can imagine that.

BTW, what do you mean by "100 air temp"? I understand 80, but 100 just seems preposterous.

Yer right, Kent! Send the warm lake water here!! 76º is still a bit nippy for me but it'll do. Right now the local creek is nice and warm thanks to the 90º+ days we had. Here's a couple of pics.

Now yer talking!!!!! :good:

Actually, what I've discovered over the years is how few people really can read a conventional survey map. It's a great way to distinguish the service that you provide for relatively small effort. Naturally, you do still need to make an actual survey to determine the boundaries and prepare a conventional map of the basis for the opinion. You do, that is, unless the land owners agree that the photos show the boundary. After all, you wouldn't want to nullify their rights by describing the boundary any more exactly than that. :>

Good Stuff.

On a related note, I have seen recorded boundary surveys that were overlayed on an aerial map.

Ditto that. I've done several ALTAs that way, some of which were transformed into Records of Survey and recorded.
