In the past couple of years I've done several ALTA surveys in the city, and I just wanted to say that everything I've retraced up there is excellent. I'm rerunning stuff that was originally laid out over 30 years ago and I find corners, either original or retracement, just almost exactly where they are supposed to be. It must be nice to regularly work in an area with such a good survey history.
If they could make Louisville part of Texas, they could make it so much more complicated, and you could brag on how smart you are. 😉
There are and have been some really good surveyors around here. BTW if you ever have any ALTA surveys or any boundary survey for that matter in down town or Old Louisville area you need to request copies of the old Stone Street Ford surveys from Jason Graves.
Old curb cuts, notches on bldg corners etc. on all of those old notes. Great stuff to have.
Great post, I'm following some surveys and finding similar results. Not to trigger anyone, but RTK has tightned things up to the point I'm looking at a few PPMs.

Kentucky is a Metes and Bounds State, not the easy peasy PLSS states.
@scott-ellis Texas was measured using Veras, a unit of measure conveniently provided by the Veras brothers that was somehow more practical than rods and/or feet.
The Veras brothers surveyed most of the state of Texas, which would explain the wild inaccuracy of their work.
As a teen in the '60s, I can recall taking part in a 20-acre boundary survey in Texas that somehow ended up with 10 acres left over.
Yup, Louisville is a great place to work! Although, I prefer Lexington over Da'ville.

Hard to tell if this was offered tongue-in-cheek, or is something more dismaying...
