Syntax matters: Corner, Monument, Fence post. Don't mix up the nomenclature of boundary elements. Frankly, it can solve boundary questions if eac...

Math looks correct. I tend to calc the hypotenuse and see if the distance is anywhere rational when I locate the reference point to the POB on the gro...

I can't see any surveyor disputing a math monument in this situation, or the reverse. Accepting obviously surveyed evidence will stand up in any court...

You don't have monuments, you have fence posts at intersections of fence lines? One thing I've found after many years of dealing with fences is that t...

@bstrand I had some wild requests from some. Two architects come to mind. One wanted me to pick up some desk drawer sized piles of dirt on a 10 acr...

Yep! Let whoever did a survey do the easement. My ROS is on file from twenty years ago, I'm done there until the government releases a plat.

They didn't find them.

No, dependent.

Not according to the BLM. Their position is that everything conveyed after the 1950 survey for the north township is controlled by the plat, even thou...
