Aerial mapping is more efficient then traditional methods when surveying large tracts of land.
A stereoscopic image of the land is taken from a series of aerial photography to create an accurate photographic model or digital terrain model which is than used for a variety of surveying and engineering purposes.
Surveyors are needed to provide horizontal and vertical control for the mapping process and to locate supplemental information like fire hydrants, manholes, or other information not visble in the photographs.
ALTA stands for American Land Title Association has members of all the major title insurance companies and title agencies across the United States.
ACSM stands for American Congress of Surveying and Mapping, and is made up of surveyors, cartographers and photogramistrists.
In the 1980's these two groups met and formulated standards for companies purchasing commercial property.
This step was deemed necessary to circumvent the fact that every surveyor had a different idea on how the survey should be done.
A developer or property owner may have a need to locate easements and rights-of-way across or through their property from time to time.
An easement is a restriction placed on the use of the property allowing another entity use of the property for certain purposes.
Easements can be anything from a utility company constructing and maintaining utilities across the property to restricting building heights or maintaining view corridors.
It's even possible to have a conservation easement owned by a conservation organization placed on the property limiting development to what's describe in the easement.
A boundary survey is the surveyor's professional opinion on the location of property lines of the subject land.
The surveyor verifies the property corners to the recorded legal descriptions for the subject property as well as legal descriptions for adjacent properties and plats at the county courthouse, the monuments set in the field, and any structures indicating lines of possession like fences, walls, hedges, and yards.
The legal description for the property will either follow a metes and bounds description or comply with the Public Land Survey System established at the end of the 18th century.
Before construction, a property owner will request an improvement survey of the property to aid in the design of any proposed improvements to their property.
An improvement survey is the combination of a Property Boundary Survey and an Improvement Location Certificate.
The purpose of an improvement survey is to show the property's improvements with respect to it's legal description.
The surveyor will verify the property corners to the recorded legal descriptions and plats at the county courthouse, the monuments set in the field, and any structures indicating lines of possesion like fences, walls, hedges, and yards.
