Oregon's recording law (ORS 209.250) preexisted the codification of state law in 1953.

The notes accompanying that codification mention acts from 1933, 1947, and 1949 as source material. I have been unable to retrieve these acts online.

My understanding for Idaho is 1978, Idaho Code 55-1904.

@bstrand Spot on. It is common to see surveys recorded much earlier in some counties.

I just need the other 11. 

Is this a homework assignment?

Well, plats of subdvisions are surveys. I am trying to think about around Washington. Lots of survey data in various records before 1973, of course, I remember seeing a few on 8-1/2 x 11.

The old surveyors had stories about being there early to get to have Volume 1 of Surveys, Page 1. 

@dmyhill All subdivisions are surveys, but not all surveys are subdivisions. Idaho code 50-13 was passed in 1967, and was specific to subdivisions. Our survey recording act was passed during the 'great awakening' of our profession in 1978.

@dmyhill   Nah, I haven't done homework in 65 years.  This is research for The Evergreen State Surveyor magazine.

Our survey records go back to becoming a State.  The licensing of Land Surveyors didn't happen until somewhere in the 1950s.  Any "demand" for recordation came later than that.  The requirement for section corner records was in 1970 something, I think.  Current requirements only expect recordation of surveys showing new descriptions and subdivisions.

Montana's subdivision and platting act was first codified in 1973.

LOL, well, I never did do homework...thus a surveyor and not an engineer 😉

All subdivisions are surveys,

That is supposed to be the case, but it appears many used to be done on a desk far away.
