Without having the chain of title sitting in front of us and knowing the rules that govern title in the state it's impossible to say. They may have cr...

I've not seen that the arrows are the standard for section labels, but I'm familiar seeing them. And Rankin is right that they often appear in hand ...

The state legislature was busy this year. So far I know of two notable statutes effecting landownership and subdivisions. The notable subdivision on...

In pavement or concrete it's at least a two bit process for a rebar cap. One hole for the rebar, widen it out for the cap, depends on the type of cap ...

I don't see the point of drilling out gravel. For concrete or pavement yes. The driver sets rebar in frozen ground and hard packed ground. No drilling...

You need a bunch of bits. As far as a 5/8" rebar we simply drive those, if it's concrete then the monument is a stem cap with magnet. But there is no ...

Is this a huge waterway? 5' of vertical error in the flood map is a big miss in my part of FEMA madness. If it's a Zone A not surprising at all, but t...

Why is a LOMA necessary if the building is 5' above the floodplain. What would be the Adjustment? Does the existing Flood Map show that site being...

It was described in the notes as a set 16"x12"x3" sandstone and a mound of stone W. for section corner. No set stone was recovered, there are very sc...

If you're scaling from a close location, use a physical monument and keep good records. The scale factor wouldn't normally be the monument's, it shoul...

Not much of a choice, you got to move it. Now if it's a building setting on the corner, that's a different story.

It basically becomes a jack-hammer

@holy-cow I had a similar experience, one of my section lines ran off a ridge into bottom land and I needed to stake line through it. I staked line...

I recently had a project that needed a GLO brass cap in the center of a county road. I couldn't take the Dewalt, it was needed on a subdivision for 70...

As you move east from the Central Meridian, true north drifts to the left. Point your instrument to 0 grid, and the north pole will be to the left. If...
