Wheres the Jameson??

Funny, around here we have the same situation in several areas....
by the same surveyor!

I guess I don't understand. Isn't a subdivision map filed with the county, signed by the surveyor the county official and the person or company subdividing the land? And if it is resubdivided don't the lot lines change and the name change a little bit? How could you have three different subdivision maps of the same subdivision? Are they all recorded subdivision maps of the same subdivision in the same county? If only one is recorded, wouldn't it be the "legal" subdivision?

Just curious.

Adam,

You gotta realize that Joe C. is in Connecticut... could be old, old stuff. Probably no County Surveyors involved, maybe not even any county approvals, or towns (municipalities) for that matter. Might just be a section or addition of town and he's calling it a subdivision. But it could be fairly recent, and still he's not have gov't approval. It's just the way of things in the New England area... and I'm just generalizing too.

My bottle is low for the same reason.

Tom,

Here in the State of Connecticut the county has no authority. All maps are filed in towns/cities. There are no county surveyors per se...some towns do have surveyors on staff, but its rare, and they surely didn't have them back in 1800's

So the 'surveyor' (engineer) filed different maps of the same parcel, and they are recorded in the clerk's office. However some of the deeds (in the same subdivision) refer to different maps and the monumenation (if you can call it that) doesn't fit with any of the subdivision maps.

I have sent out letters to all the lot owners, asking for any info (CT is a non-recording state)and have gotten nothing back.

I know I gotta get out my 'town hall shovell' and start digging and uncover what ever I can. I'm getting paid to do it, and a part of me really enjoys it...but sometimes.....anyway...I'll stop complaining now...at least I have a little bit of work!

If your ever out in CT..stop by...I'll buy you a beer...and show you we survey around elevation 2' (NAVD)..haha

hey, I was just surveying at about 2' NAVD as well!! and my Jameson is empty too. 🙁

Wheres the Evan Williams

Just for general reference... I'm a bourbon guy.

Wheres the Evan Williams

Ole cuz Evan knew about bourbon!

Wheres the Evan Williams

I finished off my Evan bottle last night.

The Jameson is over in Cork County Ireland.
Get Paul to send some over straight from the distillery.

I'm generally a TN whiskey guy as well but I do like Jamesons as well.
It's great for boilermakers.

I just want to know where the Jameson is right now

I don't know. I prefer Black Bush myself.;-)

However my favorite at this time is Wild Turkey Green Label Rye Whiskey. Until I find something better.

Joe T. Surveyor,
I will certainly do that if if I'm ever out that way. I have never surveyed under 4,000' elevation. I thought anything under 2,000 must be under water......would I have to depressurize if I came down there in order to return home?

Just out of curiousity, do you consider the earliest subdivision plat as the 'original', and the subsequent ones kind of a resurvey of the original? Would you hold a found monument called for on the "first" over a found monument called for in a latter plat?

We have metes-and-bounds properties here in "PLSS"ia but it is only after reading here and reading some old legal descriptions from the original 13 states, that I realized how complicated some of your surveys can be.

Thanks for the edification.
Tom

Laddie, the bottle may be low, however you must see that the bottle is big, so laddie there be Jameson today.
