@peter-lothian This county has many miles of river levees designed to protect farm land. This city has the highway mentioned that effectively work...

@peter-lothian The question came up many times during Town Hall type meetings held by FEMA when announcing the new flood maps. The answer was alwa...

The flooding in 2007 peaked two feet higher than the BFE in many places. At the same time, two rivers in the next county to the west had six feet and...

Common sense should be allowed. A couple had a small home on the bluff overlooking the river by more than 100 feet of elevation. Their deed ran to ...

My preference is to use the same symbols as I would use for other monumented corners. The difference is that they will have a label saying: Northwest...

Is there any requirement to show a section corner differently from any other survey corner. I don't recall ever seeing such a dictate.
