You've given us a pretty good outline of the recent survey history, but what about the more distant survey history and the deed history? The "block co...

Good, that's one set of points that you don't have to wonder if they are the original locations (unless either has been disturbed). How does your meas...

In the absence of survey monuments, you need to look at roadway improvements and the history of their placement and upgrades since initial placement. ...

Seems like you went through the full analysis. As to SIT and his point, I don't believe I disrespected his point, and don't recall that anyone else di...

I don't think that when surveyors here use a term like "magic box" that they are implying that they have no idea what it's doing or why it supplies th...
