So I asked the same questions to the Department of Libraries inquiry form on their website and received a reply that they do charge $0.25 per record, they inoice monthly and the fax the forms.?ÿ This brings up another question - where the heck is our fax machine?! I think I have it tracked down to accounting on the 3rd floor, but they must all be out counting or lunching so no CCRs yet.?ÿ
Also with regard to hubtack, apparently they do not have all the records online. I think you wouldn't be doing your due diligence if you failed to check with the Department of Libraries.
This makes their subscription service a lot less valuable.
She's probably been gone over 10 years now.?ÿ Like I said, the State keeps up with the new filings fairly quickly...but there is a lag time before they show up on the private websites.
Of the records I received, two are dated 7/29/2011 and one is dated 8/27/1981
The Portland area County Surveyors keep the survey records online. Sure, it takes a little while between survey submission and on-line availability. Even after the survey is accepted for filing there may still be a couple of weeks before it is "up".?ÿ Not a big deal.
Andy, I assume that you must have some reason to suspect that there has been a CCR filed at some particular location which Hubtack doesn't have??ÿ
Sent by fax ?!?!?!?!? In 2018? Is that a joke? Why not by?ÿPony Express ???ÿ Which brings to mind a pet peeve..... why does everybody still have a fax number on their business card? I have not sent or received a fax in going on 20 years. Yet there is a fax number on my business card printed last month. Fax machines have now been "out" for longer than they were "in".?ÿ I am more likely to get a telegram tomorrow than a fax. Unless I contact the Oklahoma DOL for a CCR.?ÿ ?ÿ
I hope, Paden, that you explained to Ms. Bittle how many mailings Hubtack was saving her.?ÿ
Well, I checked with the DOL because my crew hadn't found the township corner, it's on a parallel with closing corners offset 1280 feet and I'd rather find it than have to calculate the position. We'll look again with these new reference ties.
OK, It looks like I was wrong about HubTack. They did have the records. I'm relatively new at using it and this time, the right-of-way I'm working on crossed both the parallel and crossed into a different range, so there were 4 different township sketches to look at on their website to find the common record. Turns out it was only shown on 1 and I hadn't pulled it up until today. My apologies for casting aspersions on their service.
...I hope, Paden, that you explained to Ms. Bittle how many mailings Hubtack was saving her.?ÿ
We use to laugh about it.?ÿ Her fur just got ruffled when she found out surveyors were paying for Hubtack...so (in her mind) Hubtack was making money off of her labor, a pretty typical State employee.
Last time I saw her we?ÿbought her dinner at Tulio's (now closed).?ÿ She had sold her big house on Jenkins just north of Boyd and moved in with one of her kids.?ÿ I believe she's passed on to the hereafter now.

Murphy's Law of Maps.?ÿ Used to be the quad sheet you needed for your property was at the corner of 4 different quads.?ÿ I guess nowadays the same applies to Hubtack's (somewhat-hard-to-navigate-near-a-county-line) graphics.
The GLO set stones for 1/16 corners in OK??ÿ I didn't know that was common.
Probably more common in Oklahoma than anywhere else ("Indian Territory"). We have some (3-mile) Townships around these parts (on Indian Reservations) in which the 1/16 corners were set during the original?ÿGLO Surveys, but it is not "common" in the larger sense.
