Between the location information that would go with your description, and the description given, the least skilled surveyor could probably determine i...
Correct, and not just center of section but corners to any aliquot part. I've seen BLM plats that accept local points (even just a fence post accepte...
Case with map here: Due to onerous subdivision processes in California, having more "legal parcels" is much better that having less. So, many parties...
Haven't used it in years but wouldn't it want some kinda values for 101 and 102 to get started? It seems those could be anything as you're telling it...

Reminds me of years ago when the angle left/angle right button on an old Sokkia gun got bumped mid-setup on a topo, and it wasn't noticed 'til back in...
I understand your reasons perfectly. A new description might help with #1, and a filed survey would help with both. Contrary to what I said earlier ...
