Questions about Surveying?

Land surveying is the process of determining the precise locations of points, lines, boundaries, and other features on the earth's surface. Surveying is a critical tool in many fields, including engineering, construction, mapping, and land management. Surveying can be used to measure everything from the size of a building lot to the height of a mountain. Surveying equipment has come a long way since the days when surveyors had to use nothing more than a chain and a measuring tape. Today, surveyors use sophisticated electronic instruments, such as GPS receivers and laser scanners, to collect data. This data is then processed using computer software to create accurate maps and drawings.

The type of land survey you need will depend on the purpose of the survey. A boundary survey, for example, is used to determine the property lines of a piece of land. A topographic survey, on the other hand, is used to create a map of the land's features, such as elevation contours, bodies of water, and roads. Other types of surveys include construction surveys, as-built surveys, and mortgage location certificates.

A Plat, or in longer terms: Plat of Survey, is the visual recreation of the Survey of a parcel of land. Plats are helpful in a variety of ways, but primarily in the identification of land boundaries These land boundaries could range from large homestead parcels to smaller subdivision Lots. The measurements recorded in a plat can be compared to a homeowners' deed, making it possible to calculate the property’s exact boundaries. Plats are drawn up by CAD technicians and must be reviewed and signed by a licensed Surveyor. Many different types of Plats commonly produced by Land Surveyors include: Boundary (with and without known Improvements) Plats, Division/Subdivision Plats, Consolidation Plats, House Location Plats, etc. Most Plats are created for the purpose of future recordation at a Courthouse to reaffirm boundary lines/changes to a parcel or to obtain a building/land disturbance permit.

Surveyor's Prayer

Almighty God, Surveyor of the Universe and the True Point of beginnings for all things.

Bless that parcel of time more particularly described as life and guide us as we traverse through it.

May we accurately follow the courses you have set forth giving full measure of our time and talents in a manner that will make our lives worthy of a place in the record book of eternity.

We submit the sum of our being; less and except those errors by your grace forgiven.

Witnessed by those present in your Holy Name.

Amen
