> who performed the RTK survey and in what capacity?
That was Quickie-Dickie Surveys R' Us. They produced their survey in connection with a sale between two individuals to which none of the adjoining landowners was a party.
With all due respect, Kent, I think you have it backwards.
N might be fine for Theoretical Physicists or Architects but Land Surveying is a practical, pragmatic profession in need of the clear vision of the sensors of the world.

That is actually sadly mistaken in practice. The Sensing types are blind in that they virtually always fail to see the pattern or to wonder about the things that aren't quite right. They tend to like to have things finished more than having them correct.
This is why the Sensing types tend to gravitate toward surveying activities that are routine in nature, like control surveying, construction surveying, and other engineering surveying activities.
The ranks of land surveyors are probably 2/3 full of Intuitive types (with INTJ being the predominant one) for a reason.

Totally disagree. Most of the surveyors I've met are an E instead of an I. 🙂

The good surveyors are usually Introverts. The Extroverts tend to be managers.

That has not been my experience. In fact, my experience has been the opposite of that, excepting a few older gentlemen I've had the pleasure of following.
> Right of way is an open compound noun: "right" is the noun, "of way" is a prepositional phrase.
I'll bite. Is there some advantage that you find in not hyphenating "right-of-way"?

Yes, it's pretty obvious that you're an extrovert. Anywhere other than East Texas, you'd probably be working at an engineering firm running survey crews.
The reason that introverts make much better boundary surveyors than extroverts is that a good bit of the activity of boundary surveying involves solitary work, thinking things through. That just isn't the strong suit of extroverts. They will prefer to delegate the finicky stuff to others and just deal with the people actually doing the work.
> I'll bite. Is there some advantage that you find in not hyphenating "right-of-way"?
Personal preference; I hyphenate when it's used as an adjective "right-of-way agreement " and not when it's used as a noun. My guess is I either read that in Fowler, the OED, or I just made the rule up when I was drunk once.
I tend to defer to the English over the American usage because I was raised upper middle class in the Mid-Atlantic and am, therefore, a raging Anglophile.
"Right of way is an open compound noun: "right" is the noun, "of way" is a prepositional phrase. You pluralize the noun"
That just sounds correct. Thinking back on the on the mortgage get out of jail free settlement, the collective reference to the Attorney General from each the the fifty states was termed Attorneys General.

Likewise, brothers-in-law, not brother-in-laws.
I never disagreed with your solution to the problem.
By adding to the info that the uncalled for 3/8" rebar was 8" in length adds to the "trash" aspect. I agree
