Yes, it's impossible. 😉

  It's ironic that for modern surveyors there are powerful utilities and equipment that allow for simplifying many process. For instance, I lea...

I would love to see how in the heck they were constructed, seems impossible for the technology at the time. I guess it's a mold, the bronze gets poure...

U.S.B. M on the corner record for the meridian. I can't recall ever seeing the principal meridian stamped on a cap, but that seems to be the case he...

The mag/PK nails every 100' along the route are mostly irrelevant as they get wiped out. Depending on the density of the property the project is passi...

They even made sure the monument looked legit by using two different size stamps. I guess this show is a regular CT type show on the history channel, ...

There are situations where with is more proper than along, a creek/river boundary, be sure and use "with the thread of the stream", this will override...

There isn't a real need for precision for this task. RTK GPS would be good for it, Total Station better, levels are the best but since you're not loca...

Saying along, is different than with. The property line doesn't weave and meander as the fence does between the two main fence corners when along is...

BPE? Alaska?  

We used the maps that predated the landowner patents. They had section corner ties, we find a few RR tie ROW monuments, and the CL of the track, typic...

The ones that really can get complicated are the patents that granted lands with an existing RR. As an example the E2SE4 of a section is patented in 1...

To find if a number is divisible by three quickly add the integers and if the answer is divisible by three then the entire number is, you can eliminat...

A quirky math result has to do with palindromes: The square of 1 is 1 of course. The square of 11 is 121, a palindrome The square of 111 is 1232...

The real world always rears it head when doing work tasks. I'm not going to defend anyone locating property monuments with a 5-15 second one time sess...

The units have gotten so good that flipping them doesn't do it anymore, simply force it to end the fix, then re-initialize, change the IH to be in a d...

I can't speak to RTN's, but from what I gather they are problematic, at least in some locations. But, I don't believe that they are without easy check...
