Adjoining land should most definitely be called for. I don't think any one is arguing otherwise, but a call for the description of the property is mor...

@fairbanksls?ÿ This has nothing to do with PLSS/non PLSS. Adjoiners names show up in both. It seems pointless to me. The name a of neighbor who left ...

They can use anything they like in the GIS, because the GIS is not a legally binding document. It's when they start insisting someone can't do somerhi...

Trust restrictions are?ÿ better left to an attorney, but surveyors should be the go to professionals for local goverment subdivision restrictions.?ÿ?ÿ

@richard-germiller?ÿ Sounds like just about everywhere in the U.S. in the 70's...Some states have moved on.

I have partied when I have found an original monument 100 feet "off". ?ÿ ?ÿ

What a good argument for mandatory recording. Why are so many surveyors doing the absolute minimum. I would think we wouldn't have to be told by the g...

@bill93?ÿ But how can you tell if the lines are drawn to the monument or the calculated position at the scale of the main drawing??ÿ

@bill93?ÿ Wouldn't it have to say, "found and accepted" to eliminate the ambiguity?
