Just wrapped this up. Took me a few weeks to do it, but I am old and slow and my chainmen dont complain about it.
This survey had all the twists to it. I think I came across 8 or 9 different private tags in this survey. Deeds coming from the north, trying to meet ones from the south, deed lines overlapping...real interesting one.
I met a resident of the area who had been there for 50+ years. She asked me if I wanted to see a property corner, and naturally I said yes. So off she goes, scampering up sideslopes like they were not even there, and shows me a nice 2 " IP at a fence end and says "That my property corner". Watching Betty reminded me of Walter Houston in the movie "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" when he was hiking up those mountains. I was shown three survey corners by two individual property owners for this survey. Those monuments you do not pincushion!
Nice! A friend of mine works at JPL, not too terribly far from there.

HA! Maybe they are the same person...
I don't think so. The gal that I know lives in Pasadena.

HA! They are not! My client is a guy..but I bet they know each other!
Hey! Everyone knows that North is up on the map, not kindasortaoverthatawaysomewhere.

There's a good chance of that.

I'm willing to bet that being it's in LA County, there's a good reason why Paul surveyed and drafted that ROS that way. Hey! it wasn't surveyed in Kansas......
The north arrow orientation is low priority with me. I just wanted to get the map on the sheet at scale without a lot of broken scale lines. I think I only have one of those on the drawing.
