Around here, it would be the floodplain manger that would get involved in conjunction with code enforcement. Since you already have control, just stop...

I'd push for the descriptions to simply reference Tract-A, B or C per PB-XX Page-XXX. If a detailed description was required, my POC would be the near...

I had a lady who refused to except the results of my survey, and the three surveyors before me, because I didn't start at the point of beginning as sh...

@mathteacher Thank you. That makes sense and seems to align more with some references I had from NGS. Key points: convert bearings to azimuths, sub...

@john-putnam Maybe I'm misunderstanding declination. NGS lists it as 3° 32’ West, so wouldn't that be a negative declination making it -3° 32’ decl...

This is my main holdup and I can't conceptualize it well. I calculated N 6° 10' E my first go around but when I draw it on a compass rose, it doesn't ...

I'm not sure why the pdf won't view, below is the text in an unfriendly format: Problem: need to convert a N 2° 30’ E 1947 Magnetic North bearing to...

I removed a graphic, hopefully the attached pdf can now be downloaded.  

@mightymoe I use TBC Enterprise and didn't think of checking for that option. I'll take a look, thank you.

Moving in a straight line through dense forests is challenging to say the least. After some practice in young growth New England forests, which were d...

NC requires bearing and distance of the long chord. General practice is to include radius and arc length along with the chord data.

@dave-o Using Avery County, NC as an example, there's almost no naturally flat land. The majority of natural land is well above 15% grade I believe Av...

It depends on the client. When I worked in Appalachia, I kept a carpenter's square with me and would draw a square with the t-edge then stand the squa...

I’d delineate the full path/road but break it at the new boundary. The portion intended for the easement would be labeled Area-A (or similar) and the ...

@jim-frame That's a descent requirement. Basically you'd just need to show metadata and provide the coordinates and accuracy from a nearby CORS. I ...

Our board of licensure prevailed. The Fourth Circuit held that NC may require a PLS license for drone-based photogrammetry that produces measurable da...

@dave-o I've had many clients tell me they didn't need me to do this or that. I had an old timer furious because I insisted on locating both ends o...
