Practical Boundary Surveying


Book Description

This complete guide to boundary surveying provides landowners, land surveyors and students with the necessary foundation to understand boundary surveying techniques and the common legal issues that govern boundary establishment. Far from a simple engineering function, boundary establishment is often a difficult and delicate matter, with real monetary and legal ramifications if not accomplished accurately. This book helps readers to understand why such challenges exist and what remedies may be available. Using only simple and logically explained mathematics, the principles and practice of boundary surveying are demystified for those without prior experience and the focused coverage of pivotal issues such as easements and setting lot corners will aid even licensed practitioners in untangling thorny cases. Practical advice on using both basic and advanced instruments is included, alongside clear explanations of legal regulations that will impact any surveyor’s work. For those who desire a more in-depth treatment of the mathematical aspects of boundary surveying, the Appendix includes the underlying theory and many examples of typical calculations performed by boundary surveyors.

Boundary Surveying in Kansas


Book Description

Boundary surveying is based on state law. Until now, Kansas laws, legal principles, research, and other factors a surveyor should consider had not been compiled. While there are many surveying texts, Boundary Surveying in Kansas is the first book to be written for the Kansas surveyor. This comprehensive guide includes many topics not found in any other publication.?General Land Office surveys, including how Kansas was subdivided, fractional sections, fraudulent surveys, township resurveys, use of the BLM Manual, and re-establishment of corners.?General principles, such as a surveyor's duty and expectations, state laws, state regulations, legal principles established by the courts, types of surveys, evidence and evidence standards, records research, and acceptance/rejection of existing monuments.?History of surveying in Kansas, including historical equipment and accuracy, who could survey, history of center corner laws, and subdivision of sections. ?Rural roads, including openings, widths, staking right-of-way, and use of evidence for corner re-establishment. ?Special problems, such as overlaps and gaps, unwritten transfers, boundary agreements, agreement surveys, and surface easements. ?Ten appendices contain sample forms, including quality control, affidavits, agreement survey, and boundary agreement. Boundary Surveying in Kansas is written by two experienced surveyors with a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to share. It is an essential reference guide for the practicing surveyor and for surveyors and students working toward Kansas surveying licensure.
