Learn the
Essentials of Land Law and Boundary Determination
 This
new edition of Brown’s Boundary Control and Legal Principles–the
classic surveying and land law reference–is significantly revised to
reflect the latest advances in the field, while providing new
insights into the historic basis for boundary determinations.
It addresses new changes to laws of boundary
evidence; locating easements and reversions; and ownership,
transfer, and description of real property.
The latest information on the technologies
advancing boundary law is covered, including Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and their impact
on surveying measurements.
A wealth of case studies on federal and state
nonsectionalized land surveys demonstrates real-world examples of
covered material
