📍DID YOU KNOW? 📍
Constitution Day offers an interesting connection to the history of American land surveying. 🗺️
The rectangular public-land survey system began with the Land Ordinance of 1785, before the Constitution was ratified. The Constitution later gave Congress authority to dispose of and make rules concerning territory and other property belonging to the United States.
Together, these early legal foundations helped shape how public land could be surveyed, described, transferred, and governed as the nation expanded westward. 🇺🇸
The equipment we use at Apex Land surveying and Mapping LLC may have changed, but the responsibility to connect present-day measurements to the controlling record has not.
