Looks very common to some of our county roads. ?ÿOne must keep in mind the tools used at the time.

Looks similar to one of our early County Road Surveyor's Reports.?ÿ Fun stuff.

(sarcasm on)?ÿ Be sure and run it out exactly according to the bearings/distances shown, and be really, really sure, that you note all the encroachments and subsequent title problems created.?ÿ?ÿ(sarcasm off)

Looks like an old cattle trail turned into a road, should be the same as Surveying along a straight road.

Those are actually pretty long tangents for a NW Oregon/SW Washington county road.

Nearly all of our roads are straight for a half mile at a time. ?ÿWhen we encounter one that is serpentine we quote the old tale about getting a cow drunk, then following her path. ?ÿSometimes there is no clear evidence as to why the path is so warped.

?ÿI was considering posting one from Whatcom County, but this indeed looks very much like one of them.
