Synopsis

Master the hidden details that shape land ownership and avoid costly boundary mistakes. This practical guide explains how surveyors interpret deeds, landmarks, and records to define real property, especially in an era of high land values. It helps you understand why the written description often matters more than precise measurements, and how to track down the true boundaries when old records clash with present possession.

In clear, workable terms, the book covers the challenges of describing property, the role of deeds and records, and the practical steps surveyors take to locate corners, lines, and roads. It also explains how highway records, landmarks, and historical surveys influence today’s property lines, and why plotting old records on paper before fieldwork can save time and reduce errors. The author shares real-world examples of clerical mistakes, interpretation puzzles, and the careful judgment required to resolve boundary disputes.

What you’ll experience:
- How to read and reconcile deeds, private boundaries, and public highway records to locate a line with confidence
- Techniques for spotting transcription errors, quadrant mistakes, and misread bearings before they derail a survey
- Methods for plotting records and comparing them with field observations to ensure accuracy
- Practical approaches to laying out new roads while balancing land ownership and community needs

Ideal for readers: students, professionals, and property owners who want a solid, hands-on look at land description, boundary evidence, and the everyday work of surveyors.

Ideal for readers of practical land management, property law basics, and historical survey methods.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Boundaries and Landmarks: A Practical Manual

This manual is intended to familiarize the surveyor with the different types of old boundaries that exist throughout the country. A great deal has been written on this general subject, especially in reference to the public lands of the West. Very little, however, is being done on the conveyances of the Eastern States, and it is my hope to furnish something which may prove useful to those who are likely to meet with cases of this sort. No attempt is made to describe how the lines should be measured; the intent is rather to furnish suggestions as to the method of locating the line to be measured - in short, finding it. It is far more important to have faulty measurements on the place where the line truly exists, than an accurate measurement where the line does not exist at all.
