Does anyone have a list of where you would find Corner Records for each State? (i.e. Florida has LABINS)
If not, could you supply the information for the state you are familiar with? I am wanting to put a list together.
Thanks in advance for your help!
now that's funny, we don't have such a thing up here in MA...
except for recorded plans at each registry...
Alabama has no such place.
Nothing for New York and New Jersey.
Closest thing is recorded subdivision plats in the County Clerk's Offices.

The west coast states have corner records for various corners and we have various jurisdictional entities that maintain those records.
Without knowing specifics it could be a large task to compile a list.
With knowing specifics I'm sure we could point you in the right direction.B-)

In Utah, the corner records are filed in each county surveyor's office, so the access is different for each office. A couple of examples are Salt Lake County and Utah County. Some of the counties share their corner records with the Utah State AGRC which will ultimately provide one-stop access for all of the corner records.

For California you can access links to a lot of information from the Counties through this website.

In Wisconsin they're at the County Surveyor's office. In Minnesota it's a patchwork. In counties with remonumentation programs they're typically at the County Surveyor's office. In counties without remonumentation programs or full-time County Surveyors, the certificates are most likely at the Registrar of Deeds' office, but occasionally somewhere else, such as the Assessor's office.
There is an outfit called "Hubtack" that cover Illinois, but you have to pay for it.

Idaho corner records are filed within each county. Besides having a statewide repository the way Idaho handles corner records is great compared to WA.
In WA you don't have to complete a corner record, although you can choose to. Or, as most do, you put the information on the face of the survey. This in turn means you have two places to search if your only looking for corner records. The laws behind each are much different too and that's a topic for another day.
WA does keep all the records, or at least they have a central repository, in addition to each county recording office the records are kept and maintained in an online accessible data base by the WA state DNR. This online service requires a subscription but it is well worth it.
Corner Records-Colorado
Dr. Jekyll- I will email you the link for Colorado. I have a cheat sheet for using the
site- let me know if/when you need that too.

In CA the corner records are filed with the County Surveyors Offices and with 58 counties...good luck. Some of them don't even have websites.
Ohio does not require corner records. However the U.S. Forest Service, Wayne National Forest, records their standard corner record forms in the recorders office of the county where the point is located. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers required plats of surveys attached to easement documents to include a table listing corner numbers and State Plane coordinates. These were also recorded in the county recorders office.
In Colorado, historically, the State Board of Registration Office keeps these, and sends copies to every county office for records in that county (I believe that's per statute if I recall correctly).
A number of years ago, though they scanned them and they set up an online system to look them up which was very difficult to navigate through and used. Now you can download kmz files to find them georeferenced in Google Earth, which will link you to the online record and you can save the image or print it.

What is a C-O-R-N-E-R R-E-C-O-R-D?

We spent a rainy afternoon in the state forest office going through boxes of old field books (1880s to 1950s). I found a little corner recovery notes binder in there. I haven't seen that before.
We have several field books where they copied the GLO notes into them. No copiers back then.
