There are a set of old benchmarks still standing. These are made of the same materials as monuments the Army used locally, huge and heavy 6" cast iron...

The new elevations will be based on gravity measurements. The original gravity measurements were taken across the US every 300' or so. Seems it was a ...

It's wide east-west along the north line? That's unusual for a Section 1. Wide for record or found to be wide?

@vance-grissom Mapcheck prints out a report, it's sometimes required for reviewers. It is handy once you figure out how it works, I don't do it oft...

@j-dub It would be nice to be able to download an entire township, that's the way the field office will send files. On the website it's one page at...

The fire station should be good to go, there's no need of drywall, ceilings, insulation, doors, frames, roof, elevator, cabinets or flooring. After al...
