Land Surveying: From Thomas Jefferson to

Riparian Rights

Ever wonder why the Public Land Survey was devised? Did Thomas Jefferson really play a key role? How are sections, townships, and ranges laid out across an expanse as large as the United States? Paul McGinley, P.L.S., and other Loucks Associates licensed surveyors will answer these questions, as well as: the pitfalls in drafting legal descriptions, problematic riparian boundaries, and how to communicate with your surveyor in order to get the product that best meets your needs.
