It's funny what pops up into someone's mind. I'm working on a property trade that partly abuts a county road. Years ago we worked on a realignment for the road and it got complicated like these things tend to do. Moving a road that was a property line means little pieces and parts need to be left on each side of the road or they need to be transferred back and forth to clean up the deeds, the transfers were what happened. I vaguely recall that mess, but now I have to look at it and it is complicated; a hard to look at plat, the old right of way, new right of way, bunch of legals from one owner to another, a new easement for the road, easement for major power line, fences, underground utilities, all put on a plat that should have been two sheets instead of one.
Anyway, I'm looking at it and trying to piece together who owns what, and I ask another guy if he worked on it, he says yeah that's the ICS plat.
The ICS plat?
.
Remember when so and so called such and such an ICS when the thing was going through reviews.
An ICS?
yeah, an incompetent c*C& s%*k#@.
Oh yeah, now I remember.
It all comes back to me now, that is a good trigger, glad I didn't work on the thing.:cool:
To the guys who worked on it, it's the ICS plat forever.

I was out there for a bit on that job cause I was the "GPS" guy back then and it needed some control. Looking at the plat I'm glad that's all I did, it's a very confusing plat:eek:
I had to sit down and carefully read all the notes and legals to piece together what was going on. It's one that would benefit from color.
Had a request from a realtor involving a spaghetti farm situation with numerous houses along a short stretch of road. After asking "which house" I remembered having done a survey of one of them long ago. I told him I would do a quick search for him to see if his tract had a record survey, possibly my own. It turned out I had worked on the tract immediately to the south of his and that was the only survey of record for the tracts in that area. My survey was in 1991, following an earlier survey from 1968. The line in common with the realtor's tract required no new monumentation in 1991, so what should still be there had been there since 1968.
The tract I surveyed was approximately 82.5 feet by 660 feet as it was described as an aliquot part. All of the nearby tracts are aliquot parts, with the realtor's tract being approximately 165 feet wide.
