@norman-oklahoma That's awesome, the change was forced on most statewide communities between 2005-2010 when new FEMA maps showed up. Going back ...

I'm guessing Alaska doesn't have the same resources of good elevation marks close to each site that I'm lucky enough to have access to. We sometimes e...

Can you roll your own there?

Classic!!

Some exceptions to subdivision regulations covered by state statutes make access easements and utility easements critical when planning a non-subdivis...

I have to say it: It depends. I've been involved with similar situations. An easement through the Tracts to the south line of Tract 10 can be writt...

I'm trying to visualize going to the board and complaining about a surveyor not stamping witness on a monument. "You didn't signal 100' before turn...

WC or W.C., I prefer WC The monument should be stamped with it, and it should be identified on the plat. However, I've not seen a requirement tha...

The crew located two stones, a SW section corner, and a S1/4. Put the two coordinates into Autocat and inverse out 2640.00'. Everyone in the office ha...
