@eapls2708 There is a recent BLM resurvey where a subdivision corner (S1/16th between two section lines) surveyed in the 1970's was rejected and a ...

What size are these parcels, and what units are being used to describe them?

@not-my-real-name Center of the back face? Much like Railroad rail monuments. Locating the center of the upright rail would be incorrect. There...

Many surveyors locally held the old saying that "the king gets his". Meaning if a record of 60 feet is described in the original document then the wid...

There are many rules about how to survey in the PLSS. However, those rules don't invalidate interior corners when those rules aren't precisely foll...

Map check can be different, I use the polyline that I put around the parcel. But I always round quite a bit, I will show .01 acres but never .01 sq fe...

The new NGS zones are trying to keep the scale under 75PPM for 95% of the population in my state. I chatted with DOT and they will still keep using Pr...

I went to a seminar/training about 1997 put on by a manufacture that taught us to calibrate after static control was adjusted. I balked at doing that ...

This discussion makes be go back and think about problems with field personal. The last surveyor I had to let go was because he got a DUI and I got a ...

We do it similar, there are multiple layers in autocad for points. Final, calculated, topo, fence, control, plus others depending on the job. We've ke...

We don't use the same pt name so there aren't multiple points in the database with the same name. That can cause confusion. We will use the same pt na...

This sounds highly weird to me. The alpha inclusion is to remove a check shot from the drawing. It keeps the drawing a bit less cluttered. The check i...

Scapegoats? What a strange place to work. Just so you know the party chiefs came up with that way to collect check shots. I went along with it ca...

I see, I mistook the 2023 for a new statute

@protracted I wonder if there was a movement to do some updates to fence laws in the western states, the Oregon statute was 2023, in Wyoming a 2024...
