I like your bottom line, but I don't think distance from home has anything to with it. Familiarity with an area is an asset, but having?ÿ experience, ...

Is it really a monument if it's only a nail with no identifying information and no record? Could just as easily be someone's reference point, or initi...

In North America, 1840's GLO stones, a 1825 colonial state stone and a early 17th century Spanish Land Grant stone pile.?ÿ?ÿ

@paden-cash Oklahoma can be bad, I think only 1% of the surveyors there actually try to search for original corners.  What am I supposed to do ...

The problem is that too many surveyors and landowners won't recognize a stone. It is actually astounding how many surveyors won't even try to look for...

@murphy A lot of confusion can be prevented by setting monuments with caps that explain what they are. Saving a dollar or two a corner by setting pla...

@jph In most states a power line easement is considered a transportation ROW like a road. Instead of vehicles and pedestrians, a powerline is transpo...

The hard part is determining what "good faith"?ÿ and "approximate and reasonable accuracy " are.

This is it. The "correct" answer is usually perpendicular lines, but in the case of a subdivision like this you have to run through a thought experime...

Don't be too quick to assume a general principle applies in any particular situation. The usual "correct" solution won't work in this case.?ÿ

@holy-cow     "You can forget the "X" stones, they are impossible to find among the three billion stones to evaluate." I hope that statem...

@thebionicman Often, a correct interpretation of the Manual will point you right to the fence. I don't get the fence vs manual talk on this board.&n...

The street naming issue isn't an issue. USPS has nothing to do with street naming, that is town/county function. USPS uses wherever names the local go...

I think there is some cross talking here. Unless an easement is granted to the pubic, only the people it is granted to have a right to use it. An ease...

It's amazing how little time most Americans spend outside off a sidewalk. Many otherwise fit people look like they don't know how to walk when you get...

A win in the battle for the rights of incompetent surveyors and engineers.?ÿ

I guess if DOT doesn't monument their ROWs anymore we won't have to argue about whether the monuments or the theoretical width holds anymore. ?ÿ

@itsme_rankin For the most part DOT is already exempt from subdivision regulations, except for the surveying and monumenting parts. They also have mu...

Regardless of the code, why would you leave a lot corner unmonumented? The purpose of the monument is so the land owners know where their boundaries a...
