Clearly explains the functions and procedures required in every survey (routine or otherwise), why it is done and how it is accomplished. Readers will not only gain an appreciation for a survey, plat or land description but will be able to evaluate it in its proper perspective, realize any inherent inadequacies or discrepancies that may exist and have a much better idea of when a survey is needed to solve a problem or to obtain an approval. Contains a wealth of high-quality line drawings.
