Here is an example of one of our survey plats and accompanying descriptions. I did this one in October. This is a pretty good example what our normal ...

Agree with others. Very nice plat.

As I recall, Leica had an ad one time that included a piece of card stock with a hole in it, about half an inch or so in diameter and asked people to ...

Some of them did provide specs on beam divergence at some specified distance (like 1.5cm at 50m). I don't know that there is an industry standard for ...

Look for smallest beam and longest range. Beam size directly affects accuracy when the angle of incidence is low. Imagine the size of a flashlight bea...

I would suggest that 0.997 acre does conform to a 1 acre minimum. Think significant digits. Unless the minimum is stated as 1.000 acre...

I was trying to think of all of the investigators. Wasn't Jerry McGray an investigator at one time? Perhaps it's semantics. It may be that Gilley was ...

Carlson Survey will annotate using a scale factor. I'm not certain which version they added the feature, but you can leave coordinates in SPC and anno...

I know what you are saying Nate. There's a lot more 'and' to surveying than there once was. You've got to know surveying and geodesy, technology, etc....

Sounds like good reasoning to me. I may or may not have landed in the same spot, although with the knowledge that these monuments have been relied upo...

Except it doesn't appear to be punishable. If you do these things the board may take it into account as evidence that you weren't negligent. This seem...

While I like most of the items listed, the statute itself is poorly formed. It's very subjective. The board may use this to prove there a surveyor was...

Acreage is at the bottom of the dignity of calls. I would argue that the government purchased the tract owned by the grantor, regardless of area.But I...

I don't doubt that the monuments agree with the measurements. The question is 'Do the monuments and measurements agree with the intent?' The intent mu...

They happened to be there when the oil boom hit.

"Thence with the right of way" seems pretty determinative.
