But anyone who sets up a plan set with north oriented at the bottom of the page for no apparent reason should be horse whipped.?ÿ

I agree.

Historic boundaries and conservation efforts.

Better get busy horse whipping DOTs then. In my experience, they seem to do it the most.

I tend to agree, but I've shown North at less than straight upright a few times in order to fit everything on a conventionally sized sheet at a sensible scale and sensibly organized -- i.e. without the legend or something being in the client's front yard, etc. Didn't like it, but I done it.

There is a rumor that no matter where he was in the city, an old party chief's "north arrow" pointed to his favorite bar.

I assume your plans have an apparent reason for their orientation, like placement of roads on the plan to align with the borders

Having the key map on the cover page (for about a 65 acre highway realignment project) with north down and the subsequent 20 detail sheets with north up is grounds for a whipping. ?ÿ?ÿ

My understanding is that DOTs place priority on their stationing increasing left to right on their right of way monument maps - north taking a secondary position.

If North is always supposed to be up, then why do North arrows exist?

The old convention is for roads to be stationed from West to East or South to North.?ÿ I prefer for North to point up or right on a boundary survey, but don't really mind as long as there is an arrow pointing in the right direction.?ÿ
