2 LAWS RELATING TO PUBLIC-LAND SURVEYS Beginning with an ordinance passed by the Continental Congress in May, 1785 (which provided for townships 6 miles square, each containing 36 sections 1 mile square), laws regulating the surveying, marketing and disposal of the public lands of the United States have from time to time been enacted by Congress. Following are the provisions of the Public Land in which the surveyor is principally interested. 1. All responsibility for the surveying and sale of the public lands of the United States is placed in the hands of the Commissioner of the General Land Office, who under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to carry into execution every part of the Public Land Laws not otherwise specially provided for. 2. When the surveys and records of a state are completed, all the field notes, maps, and records pertaining to land titles are delivered o the Secretary of State of that state. 3. Any agent of the United States, acting upon the authority of the Commissioner of the General Land Office, has free access to public records delivered to any state, but no transfer of such records is made to any state until the state has enacted legislation providing for the safekeeping of such records and for the allowance of free access thereto by authorities of the United States. 4. It is requested that all surveys and resurveys of public lands under the supervision of the Commissioner of the General land Office are to be made by surveyors selected by the General Land Office. (Prior to 1910, surveys were made by contract). The field work is now performed by a permanent corps of engineers under civil-service regulations. 5. It is provided that resurveys may be made by the Government under certain conditions. 6. Boundaries of public lands, when established by duly authorized surveyors and when approved by the Commissioner, are unchangeable. 7. The original corners established by the surveyors stand as the true corners they were intended to represent, whether in the place shown by the field notes or not. 8. The unit of length is the 66 foot Gunter's chain divided into 100 links. 9. Quarter-quarter-section corners not established by the original surveys are to be on the line joining the section and quarter-section corners and midway between them, except in the northern and western half miles of the township. 10. The center lines of sections are to be straight between opposite quarter-section corners. 11. In a fractional section where no opposite quarter-section corner has been or can be established, the center line of such section is to be run from the proper quarter-section

3 corners as nearly in a cardinal direction as due parallelism with section lines will permit to the meander line, reservation, or other boundary of such fractional section. 12. Lost or obliterated corners of the approval surveys are to be restored to their original location, if possible.

4 ALLOWABLE LIMITS OF ERROR The maximum allowable error of closure prescribed for the United States rectangular surveys is 1/452, provided the error of closure in either latitude or departure does not exceed 1/640. Where a survey qualifies under the latter limit, the former is bound to be satisfied. It is equivalent to a systematic error of 12½ links, in either latitude or departure, per mile of perimeter. On this basis both the latitudes and the departures for the exterior lines of a normal township should close within 3 chains; of a normal range or tier of sections within 1 ¾ chains; or of a normal section within ½ chain. The general requirement is applied as a test of the accuracy of the angular and linear measurements incidental to all classes of lines embraced in the division of the public lands. Whenever a closure is effected, the latitudes, departures, and error of closure of the lines composing the figure (quadrangle, township, section, meander, etc.) must be calculated, and corrective steps must be taken whenever the test discloses an error in excess of the allowable value. In addition to the foregoing general requirement, township exteriors must be so established that the rectangular limits of township subdivisions, as discussed in the following article, are not exceeded. Normally the boundaries of a township are considered to be established within satisfactory governing limits form which to control the subdivisional surveys when the calculated position of the section lines may be theoretically projected from the township boundaries without invading the danger zone in respect to the rectangular line. RECTANGULAR LIMITS OF ERROR Before considering further the methods employed in the subdivision of townships, the legal requirement relative to the rectangular surveys of the public land should be stated. Of the 36 sections in each normal township, 25 are returned as containing 640 acres each; 10 adjacent to the north and west boundaries (comprising sections 1-5, 7, 18, 19, 30 and 31) each contain regular aliquot parts totaling 480 acres and 4 additional fractional lots each containing 40 acres plus or minus definite differences to be determined in the survey; and one section (section 6) in the northwest corner contains regular aliquot parts totaling 360 acres with 7 additional fractional lots each containing 40 acres plus or minus certain definite differences to be determined in the survey. The aliquot parts of 640 acres, called the regular subdivisions of a section, are the quarter section (½ mile square), the half-quarter of eighth section (¼ by ½ mile), and the quarter-quarter or sixteenth section (¼ mile square), the last containing 40 acres and being the legal minimum for purposes of disposal under the general land laws. CORNERS In the subdivision of the public lands as described in the preceding articles, it is required that the United States surveyors shall permanently mark the location of the township, section, exterior quarter-section, and meander corners, as well as such quarter-quarter-section corners as it is necessary to establish in connection with the subdivision of fractional sections. For this purpose are employed monuments of a character specified by regulations of the General Land Office. The

5 location of every such corner monument is, in accordance with definite rule, referred to such nearby objects as are available and suitable for this purpose; and where the corner itself cannot be marked in the ordinary manner an appropriate witness corner is established. At the appropriate place in the field notes of the survey a record of each established monument is introduced, this record including the character and dimensions of the monument itself, the manner in which it is placed, the significance of it location, its markings, and the nature of the objects to which reference measurements are taken, together with these measurements. CORNER ACCESSORIES When a corner is referred by direction and distance to some other more or less permanent object, and the operation becomes a matter of record, it is possible to relocate the corner with respect to the object. In land surveying a recorded measurement of this kind is often called a connection, and the object thus located is called a corner accessory. It is specified that the United States surveyors in the survey of the public lands shall employ at least one accessory for every corner established, the character of the accessories to fall within the following groups: (a) bearing trees, or other natural objects such as notable cliffs and boulders; permanent improvements; and memorials; (b) mounds of stone; and (c) pits. Corners called standard corners are established on the base line and standard parallels at intervals of 40 chains; these standard corners govern the meridional subdivision of the land lying between each standard parallel and the next standard parallel to the north. Other corners called correction corners or closing corners are later established on the base line and standard parallels during the process of subdivision; these corners fall at the intersection of the base line or standard parallel either with the meridional lines projected from the standard township corners of the next standard parallel to the south (see Fig. 454b) or with the intermediate section and quarter section lines. Standard parallels are also called correction lines. MEANDERING In the process of surveying the public lands, all navigable bodies of water and other important river and lakes below the line of mean high-water are segregated from the lands which are open to private ownership. In the process of subdivision, the regular section lines are run to an intersection with the mean high-water mark of such a body of water, at which intersection corners called meander corners are established. The traverse which is run between meander corners, approximately following the margin of a permanent body of water, is called a meander line, and the process of establishing such lines is called meandering. The mean high-water mark is taken as the line along which vegetation ceases. The fact that an irregular line must be run in tracing the boundary of a reservation does not entitle such a line to be called a meander line except where it follows closely the shore of a lake or the bank of a stream. Meander lines are not boundaries but are lines which are run for the purpose of locating the water boundaries approximately, and although the official plats show fractional lots as bounded in part by meander lines, it is an established principle that ownership does not stop at such boundaries.

6 Meander lines are run in surveying fractional portions of the public lands bordering on navigable rivers, not as boundaries of the tract, but for the purpose of defining the sinuosities of the banks of the stream and as the means of ascertaining the quantity of land in the fraction subject to sale, which is to be paid for by the purchaser. In preparing the official plat from the field notes, the meander line is represented as the border line of the stream, and illustrates that the water-course, and not the meander line as actually run on the land, is the boundary. In running a meander line, the surveyor begins at a meander corner and follows the bank or shore line, as closely as convenience permits, to the next meander corner, the traverse being a succession of straight lines. The true length and bearing of each of the courses of the meander line are observed with precision, but for convenience in platting and computing areas the intermediate courses are laid off to the exact quarter degree and each intermediate transit station is placed a whole number of chains, or at least a multiple of 10 links, from the preceding station. In as much as meander liens are not true boundaries, this procedure defines the sinuosities of the mean high-water line with sufficient accuracy. When a meander line is "closed" on a second meander corner, the latitudes and departures of the courses bounding the fractional lot are computed and the error of closure is determined. If this exceeds the allowable value, the line is rerun until an error in bearing or distance is discovered which will bring the closure within the specified limits (maximum error in either latitude or departure 1/640). a. Rivers Proceeding downstream, the bank on the left hand is termed the left bank and that on the right hand the right bank. Navigable rivers and bayous as well as all rivers not embraced in the class denominated "navigable", the right-angle width of which is 3 chains and upward, are meandered on both banks, at the ordinary mean high-water mark, by taking the general courses and distances of their sinuosities. b. Lakes Regulations provide for the meandering of all lakes having an area of 25 acres or greater, the procedure being the same as for the meandering of streams. In case the lake lies entirely within a section there will be obviously no regular meander corners, and a special meander corner is established at the intersection of the shore of the lake with a line run from one of the quarter-section corners on a theoretical course to connect with the opposite quarter-section corner, the distance from the quarter-section corner to the special meander corner measured. The lake is then meandered by a line beginning and ending at the special meander corner. If a meanderable lake is found to lie entirely within a quarter-section, an auxiliary meander corner is placed at any convenient place on its margin, and this is connected by traverse with one of the regular corners established on the boundary of the section. c. Islands In the progress of the regular surveys, every island of any meanderable body of water, except those islands which have formed in navigable streams since the admission of a state to the union, is located with respect to regular corners on section boundaries and is meandered and shown

7 upon the official plat. Also in the survey of land fronting on any nonnavigable body of water, any island opposite such lands is subject to survey.
