There are two primary systems that form the basis of land descriptions in the United States. Those systems are the metes and bounds survey and the public lands survey. Both systems start with research. This four hour interactive online course explains the steps a land surveyor must take when doing the research required for a project.

Some of the topics covered include:

  • General Property Survey

  • Surveys for Boundary Location

  • Composite Maps

  • Legal Considerations in Boundary Determination

The goal of this course is to give the land surveyor a better idea of the steps involved in surveying, as well as the relationship between surveying and legal issues. It is not a substitute for legal counsel and should not be used to give someone legal advice.

This course includes a multiple choice quiz at the end of each section.

Course Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, the student will know more about:
  • General Property Survey

  • Surveys for Boundary Location

  • How to analyze information to prepare Composite Maps

  • How to apply the information to an actual Boundary Survey

  • Legal Considerations in Boundary Determination

  • How to assimilate and organize the data
