Written in nontechnical language and supported by way of a number of line drawings, A consultant to figuring out Land Surveys not just is helping readers achieve a powerful familiarity with a survey, plat, or land description, yet allows them to safely evaluation it, realize any inadequacies, and make the right kind alterations to procure approval.
The 3rd variation of A consultant to knowing Land Surveys has been elevated with thirty percentage new fabric and is absolutely up to date to mirror the newest perform instructions and know-how, together with using GPS and GIS in land boundary re-establishment. additionally incorporated is necessary new fabric on how know-how might be interpreted in assessing the standard and accuracy of a land survey.Content:

Example text
No adjustments are made to compensate for differences between distances between points on this level surface and distances between the same points on the flat plane of the projection. In short, the tangent plane projection system accounts for the curvature of the earth by ignoring it. Indeed, so little attention is given to the shape of the earth in performing tangent plane projection surveys that many people, even Land Surveyors, forget that every map or plat derived from measured angles and distances is the projection of a curved surface onto a flat plane.
8. BEARINGS 41 2. The bearing of straight lines (except for north–south lines and the equator) vary throughout the line. Because none of the north–south lines are parallel, then a straight line that crosses several north–south lines must do so at a different angle for each north–south line. A simple examination of a globe is all that is needed to confirm that north–south lines (lines of longitude) are not parallel (they meet at the poles). East–west lines (lines of latitude), however, are parallel but, except for the equator, none are straight land lines.
True north is widely claimed but almost never used as this control meridian. The most common form of directional control in boundary surveys of this type is an assumed north created by the recovery of a reported bearing. A “reported bearing” simply indicates that two or more marks set by a previous Land Surveyor were found and that the direction between these marks reported by the previous Land Surveyor was used as the directional control for the present work. Sometimes the control direction may be entirely “assumed”; that is, the Land Surveyor did not use a known or recoverable direction as a control.
