I'm afraid it was years ago when I realized that more than 80% of the residential lot surveys that were being done in in older neighborhoods for a happy meal price have some serious defect. These tend to be the "Plausible Deniability" surveys. Market forces have pretty well cleared the playing field for that to be the new standard. The only surveys I make of residential lots are when there is a problem and suddenly there is both someone who really wants to know where the boundary of their lot is and someone who is willing to pay the freight on actually doing what is necessary to answer the question.

The only one who would matter is long since dead. She was the mother of the 88-year-old owner of the lot I was working on and back in the 1940's owned one of the adjoining lots. :>

Yeah, if curbed streets ever make it to Utah, your problems are over. :>
These sort of problems will never be over. I've lost all hope. The human that cut corners a hundred years ago is the same human alive today and the same human that will exist in a hundred years. The land owners cut corners, surveyors cut corners, cities, counties and the feds cut corners. It's hard to get work if you don't cut corners, the corner cutter gets most of it. Since I don't cut corners I don't really get that much work. Surveyors have made their own bed, is it any wonder there is no respect for them?
