Synopsis

This book is an instructional manual on land surveying, first written in 1891 and republished in 1911. Land Surveying is critical to dividing land into plots, which is essential for the buying, selling, and transfer of real estate. This manual contains instructions for the surveyor in how to conduct surveys, including: measuring distances, using tools and equipment, running lines, passing obstacles and measuring inaccessible distances, plotting and computing areas, original surveys, legal descriptions of land, and re-establishing lost corners. The author, F. Hodgman, positions land surveying within its broader legal context, since legal decisions play a significant role in the re-location of lost corners and other boundary lines. If you're interested in land surveying, either as a practicing surveyor or as a property owner who wants to learn more about it, this book is for you.
