Using StarNet to compute a filed Record of Survey

> When entering a plat of that age do you limit yourself to stated (platted) dimensions or do you consider likely methods and equipment employed?

Very, very good point! Forensic reconstruction and retracement of older plats is truly an art.

Required for your 'pallet':

1. All the original corners that can be scrounged.

2. A knowledge of the lay of the land, as it was when platted.

3. The ability to overlook the sometimes meaningless bearings and distances represented on the plat.

The results should give you a clear picture of how the plat was laid out.
