I work with stuff worse than that.

Get out there, Resurvey the perimeter, and ALL occupation, tie all fence corners, monuments. Tie all improvements, that are in proximity of any deed lines.?ÿ All road centerline, etc.

More office time is a waste of time. At this time.

This is like reconstruction of the community. Without a plan.

If you are not comfortable doing this, go discuss this with some older practical surveyors. You are being too nerdy.

You need practical help, in pure pragmatism.

You can even call me if you want.

It's a different way of thinking, but is a part of surveying.

N

If suveys/deeds of the neighboring parcels, any more surveys in the subdivision, and the original description have not yet been pulled there is still more office work before going out into the field.?ÿ

Going out into the field without those documents will greatly increase the chance of missing some relevent physical evidence.?ÿ?ÿ

If he had put North to the top of the page, he would have had to either rescale his drawing to make it fit the landscape layout or he would have had to print in portrait layout... since this appears to have been hand drawn, I'd say he didn't plan out his drawing very well and made a quick fix after he finished his limited labeling.

The plat invites evidence from the ground. It may end up simpler than it looks. Either way, get paid to solve the problem...

Is there any chance you can post a better image? Even after zooming in, it is still unreadable.

I don't care where they put the north arrow on a plan.?ÿ I'm just happy if it's there, and it points generally north

Is this version in the public records? It doesn't have a title, or any language dedicating the street and drainage easement.

Since it's hand drawn, it won't scale quite as accurately as a CAD drawing. But it looks as though it could be scaled reasonably well.

@jph If North was always straight up the page the question begs...... why do we need one then ??ÿ

@gary_g?ÿ

So we automatically know this is neither a DOT drawing nor a railroad VAL map.

@rplumb314?ÿ

It is public. I erased some of the information that would identify the guilty surveyor.
