If you stake from those plans, you may be responsible for costs to fix whatever was built from your stakes to meet the real requirements.?ÿ Get somebo...

@stlsurveyor I mostly learned from the UNAVCO web site. They list the teqc options and have other useful articles.

Surveyors are not supposed to "represent" or be advocates for clients. They are supposed to find the facts and evidence, and form opinions as to bound...

@john-nolton Yes, but the written bearing is nearly perpendicular to that which one would guess from the direction of the lines.

@jflamm   Found it:

@jflamm Speaking of treasure, I'm recalling the guy in late 2014 who was asking about latitudes and longitudes to find a treasure in North Carolina.&...

@loyal And of course which point/line on the plat it was determined for.

For splitting hairs, what is the difference??ÿ I know the rotational axis wanders a bit, so does the earth model used to define a geodetic datum have ...

@norman-oklahoma His profile says: U.S. State Licenses    Texas

True North is the direction to the earth's rotational pole.?ÿ Grid north is the direction you get on a flat map that has distorted a portion of the ea...

@jack-chiles Yes, 2 points define a bearing in that coordinate system.  I guess I was thinking of the problem of rotating grid to geodetic, whic...

@jack-chiles Your point is valid but your example is poorly stated.?ÿ You need 3 pairs of coordinates to calculate an angle, and a given bearing to fi...

@skeeter1996 This is the first mention of GLO monuments in the thread.  Are the developer's monuments trying to represent the same corners or ar...

@holy-cow That's the norm in Iowa also. Strangely, the road past my sister's house appears to all be taken from the parcel on the other side, so the r...

Around here the main reason highways are fenced is to coerce deer to go under bridges instead of across the highway.  

Agree. Corpscon to get everything in the same datum, probably in lat-lon, and then to the projection of choice.

A comment that the survey is inaccurate is a useless statement without further details. But I don't see that a non-professional pointing out something...

I said IF the lots were sold with reference to his monuments. Setting them after the lots were sold gives them less credibility. Now were looking at p...
