I am EXAMPLE4.TXT This is a survey of the same parcel as described in "EXAMPLE3". The survey is incomplete, due to a sudden rainstorm. The survey instruments are rainproof [they are even caveproof!], but my assistant was not. An estimate of the lacking data can be made from knowledge of the parcel. A quick guess from my monitor (I didn't even bother to print it) gives the following shots as those needed to complete the survey. TO FROM COMP TAPE ADD1 JWS61 217 286 ADD2 297 460 Shoot these stations and then plot the map. It should be the same as the map of "EXAMPLE3". You can read "EXAMPLE3" and plot them both on the same screen. I will leave it to you to figure out how they match!!! When you get a survey like this, you have troubles. If you are considering purchasing it, the best thing to do is to look elsewhere. If you are already stuck with it, then you should trace your deed back to see if there are [m]any typograhpic errors in the land description. You should also check with the deeds of your neighbors. The calls in their land description for the boundary between you should agree with that part of your land description. If that fails, then you must reestablish a new line. Agree where your property boundary should be, and survey it. Do it right this time. And bring along a camera. If it ever comes before twelve of your peers, pictures will mean a lot more to them than some hocus pocus about compass error.
