No, because there aren't going to be any crosswalks. Good point.

I'm curious as to why you didn't use a tripod. Maybe too dark down there for an optical plummet?

@sarkiss Oh. So no way to create a straight line. Got it.

You are definitely old school. Yes, that’s what they used to call it. AKA “bucking in.” I’ve done it several times.

I’ve always preferred azimuths but, as you know, they aren’t used anymore in the U.S. except maybe by the military.

Great training, especially true on my current project where I did find a traverse point IRC very close to where a boundary corner was supposed to have...

Here at Orange County Public Works in Orlando, FL we use red caps marked O.C. TRAV POINT on 5/8" rebar. We do come across traverse point caps on rebar...

We did this in case there was a typo. The coordinates we got were pretty close to the published coordinates on the CCR.

Will this change be in the raw data?

We set up the base station on a new point, which we called 3001, and started locating with the rover. We will be using 3001 throughout the duration of...

If anyone is curious, here's the coordinate file. Note that the 500 number point range is the calculated points and the 200 number point range is the ...

I used to set masonry cut nails in asphalt for turning points when running levels and points on a line for construction surveying.

We always stake out a previously located point.

About 9' heel to toe. Good eye.

But it will get us close enough to recover the boundary corners. For some reason the recovered points are about 4' south of the calculated points.

Why would I locate record coordinates? The only record coordinates we used are those on the CCR #74815 (REC. 2" AXLE WITH "X" CUT S.W. COR. SEC. 12, T...

Unless your definition of control is different than mine, the only control we have is the point that the base station was setup on. That was the only ...
