On September 10th I had just finished up photo control job for a transmission corridor. That evening, since my contact had gone home, I talked my way...

Looks like Angies List for surveying services in Little Rock.

1/4 pole seems pretty loose for the 1920's measurements.

First of all, Siskiyou County is part of California in name only. It is one of those places for people that don't like people (for the most part). I...

@jim-frame, in these cases I like to create separate drawing for the various records. I then Xref them into my boundary drawing. This way you piece ...

Jim, Way sketchy. Call me old school but monuments get a minimum of 180 epochs on two discrete observations. I like to shoot for four hours betwee...

Just a normal wave on the northern Pacific coast.

While C3D does not include the 'for GNSS', it does include NAD83 (plain jane); HPGN (HARN) NAD83; NSRS 2007 NAD83; and NSRS 2011 NAD83. I don't see a...
