Because I believe that the OP is not a geodesist or even a surveyor. He is a property owner interested in where to put the fence, not splitting atoms....

A meridian is a line of longitude passing through a point on its way to the geodetic north pole. A grid bearing at any point will be relative a meri...

The plan is dated 2021. I'm noting that the surveyors name is Richard Nixon. That's quite a cross to bear through life.

My thinking is that any lender would be obliged to check a title report. If they don't they deserve to get stuck. If a thief recorded a deed and then ...

It has been said that you can record a dinner napkin if you pay the fee. There are restrictions on document size which would limit the recordability o...

The weakness in a GNSS derived elevation is, generally, in the geoid height. The ellipsoidal elevation can be measured within a couple hundredths of a...

I don't know if screws are commonly used in your area. They have been ubiquitous in Portland for over a century.

@mightymoe My major point here is that there is nothing special about the first surveyor to set monuments when none are called for. There is someth...

My guess is that your problem is with the on/off switch. Did you have it out in the rain? We get ours wet all the time and the fix is to bring it insi...

I'll presume that there is a call for Section, Township, Range, etc. That's a call for the GLO work, which is a call for the monuments of that work. ...

@lurker If monuments are called for in the writings we may presume that the parties knew about them. If they are not called for we can't make that ...

@mightymoe OK, it existed in 1957. Still to be proven is that both of the parties knew about it when the originating deed was exchanged and agreed ...

@mightymoe If you can show by clear and convincing evidence that the parties to the original deed knew about that monument and its location when th...

For now, actual OPUS is GPS only.

There has been a lot of talk about adding GNSS to CORS downloadables, and I think that some of the stations have that. But OPUS, for now, is still GPS...

I believe that OPUS is still a GPS only service, whereas most other services use all of the GNSS constellations.

Paraphrasing Shakespeare, a 12 foot "2 by 4" by any other name would smell as sweet.
