Real Land Surveying

Alright! This is going to be the thread for all things Surveying.

I have little time now, but when I come back, I'll explain lots of stuff.

I'll also keep up a "Surveying Journal" here, in the tradition of George Washington and Abe Lincoln.

But meanwhile, you guys can ask..."Why what when where how?"

Here are Some Sites

As an old surveyor from way back (railroads, seismic) I await with bated breath

as a non-surveyor who has no interest in the topic, i politely turn my head slightly to look at other threads...

The First Survey:

Quote:

Genesis 1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

You can't establish form without doing a survey first.

Well heck, not much time to fill in on too many things even now...but

Update: Me and my dad just officially finished a 2045 acre job...actually was quite a pleasant job, farmland. Record sighting for snakes on one job. Traverse close was decent, and the highway section wasn't TOO busy, and it was surprisingly straight...

...Of course not many people besides myself and GM know what I'm talking about...that's why the NEXT time

I come over, I'll explain everything.

Where are you working? I was always in the West (Canada and a little bit in the States- No Dakota/Montana) where they have the actual grid system laid out- makes life a lot easier.

What instrument are you using? I stopped running a transit just as the new electronic models came out- used Kerns and Zeiss, but my baby is the old optical Wild T16
