Everything gets aggregated in TBC, to mesh levels with GPS derived verticals, orthometric elevations are changed for the GPS points from the levels an...
Looking at the bearings it appears that it's some type of "true north". Kinda close to the 1914 GLO plat, and SPC should be about 15minutes from "true...
HARN is/was GPS derived control of various NAD83 epochs (recalculated following NAD83 shifts). It is still valuable because it consists of physical mo...

Raw data into TBC, coordinate values into CAD.
Got it, the surveyor for my client (PE) stopped by the office with his DC and R12i. We were able to set-up in his controller a state plane RTX job wit...
From the plat I'd probably prorate that one in. The option of a mean bearing will create two E-W center lines that won't meet at the section line. Tha...
Only see it in heavy canopy these days. In the early RTK surveys, we would see it all the time, in open sky. Those bad fixes might stay fixed for 1/2...
The MT and OG plats are always something I pull like I said above, I forgot to include patents.
