Wilhelm Land Surveying is on vacation! Although the surveyor is on vacation…apparently he never stops being a surveyor! Because today, we stumbled across this display of antique surveying equipment at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, MT.
Cory couldn’t help but stop to admire the old tools of the trade. Surveyors used tools like these long before GPS, total stations, and drones. They measured land with chains, compasses, transits, and a whole lot of patience and skill!
It was fun to see a piece of surveying history and appreciate how far the profession has come.
