What makes you think PLSS surveyors are desperately wanting to be your equal?
At least Gene tries and provides examples, and they do look difficult, however those are mineral surveys not Surface.
NEWS Flash:?ÿMineral Surveys (Lode, Place, Millsite) also defines and controls the Surface Estate (with certain limitations and/or caveats). Now there ARE Mineral Surveys?ÿthat ONLY control the Mineral (subsurface) Estate, but they are rare. The "overlaps" common the Lode Mining Claims (and the Mineral Surveys and Patents thereof) is part of what makes them [somewhat] unique to Federal Land Patents and the retracement of the Official Surveys thereof.

I never said my equal.?ÿ
Anytime it is said PLSS is easier than Colonial Surveying . PLSS Surveyors get uspet, try to show examples of how hard the have it, but they never prove it.?ÿ
The system was designed to be easier that is a cold hard fact. If you did a previous Survey in a Range/Township section and someone calls and wants another Survey in the same Township but say 5 miles from the section you just Survey in, you can offset a few sections lines in AutoCAD make a look point file, and probably?ÿ find the corner less than 20 feet from the look file, even closer if it is a recording state.?ÿ?ÿ
Most City and County surveying rules and laws are based off the PLSS Survey requirements.?ÿ
I just want to hear a few PLSS Surveyors say Yes, I love the grid it does make looking where to start easy, and the manual with step by step instructions if I follow it, I will never set a corner in the wrong location.?ÿ

I'm sure there are a few "surveyors" who operate in PLSS states who would agree with you, but those are the ones we are trying to weed out due to obvious?ÿincompetence.?ÿ
