The same township as the Opps post. Sections 5 and 6 were not included in the resurvey and across them on the plat there is this note:
SURVEYED BY A. P. HANSON IN 1871
You need a bit of local knowledge to understand why that caught my eye. That would have been 5 years before Custer met Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. Needless to say A. P. Hanson didn't survey that township then. He was actually there in 1881.
Everyone has their typos ??ÿ
That one sure jumps out, it's odd I never noticed it before.

Good grief!

One of the more "notorious" GLO Deputy Surveyors around these parts, man, I could tell you some stories about that clown (he did set well marked corners though).
Here's what a later GLO Surveyor had to say about one of Hanson's Surveys:
Hehe, you don't know how good you have it, he's one of the better ones in this area.
Loyal,
Notorious INDEED.?ÿ Since we talked about a "dusty" GLO Report on your shelf just the other day, here is an excerpt from the 1887 Report of the Commissioner of the General Land Office (pages 250-252) that lists Mr. A. P. Hanson.?ÿ As I recall, he somehow rehabilitated his reputation and later was a U.S. Deputy Mineral Surveyor in Utah.?ÿ Or was he a U.S. Deputy Surveyor?

Ol' A.P. was both a Deputy GLO & Deputy Mineral Surveyor, and "performed" many Rectangular and Mineral Surveys around Utah in the late 1890s and early 1900s. He was born in Denmark in the 1850s, emigrated to the US when he was 17, and died in Salt Lake City in 1922.

My job is; to the best of my ability, recreate the deeded corner or line. And show my client what their rights are...
The above mentioned Stahle was the predominate surveyor in this area. I would not describe his surveys as fraudulent or fictitious, frustrating would be a better description. When you follow Ed F. Stahle be prepared for surprises.
