Is it proper to call these calculated offsets range lines?

I have never seen that label used on a survey.
I know it means something entirely different in PLSS. Older hand-written survey notes from the DOT often show it as if it were a projection from the survey base line to locate buildings. A line defined by the side of a building or by a fence may be extended visually to its intersection with a survey line.

Never seen it done that way but easy for the homeowner to find his line. Need rt. angles to the setback line for compliance though
@james the right angle offsets were done for the town. these lines were to help the owner and the builder see how much room they have to build onto the front.

I've seen one other local surveyor do that, unlabeled, on his maps. I use, for example, in my point descriptions: "E range of N house wall" but never use any kind of range on my maps.

We would routinely supply that information on as-builts and improvement location certificate or morgaagee title inspections. Have never seen anyone give them such a label, though. And, yes, range line takes on a whole different meaning in PLSSia. Joplin, Missouri has it's primary commercial section centered along Range Line Road.
