About the Book
Widely acclaimed as the authoritative source on the legal aspects of surveying and boundary problems, Brown's Boundary Control and Legal Principles is now updated and expanded in this fourth edition. Distinguished by the precision and clarity of its presentation, this indispensable reference book covers land boundary law, the science of measurements, evaluation of evidence, and the traditions and customs that have defined boundaries.
A unique resource, it brings together material that would otherwise require research through dozens of publications. It includes full, easily accessible coverage of the legal elements for determining boundary location and the federal and state laws that govern these elements. Common law and legal principles, synthesized from a comprehensive review of court cases, are presented as a cohesive set of guidelines for the practicing professional.
This Fourth Edition features new material that:
- Explores the distinction between GLO creation by statute law and metes and bounds creation by common law
- Provides expanded coverage of title examination, certification, and easements
- Examines Riparian boundary questions
- Defines new surveying terminology
In the tradition of its previous editions, Brown's Boundary Control and Legal Principles, Fourth Edition remains the essential reference for all land surveyors and civil engineers, land owners, realtors, attorneys dealing with surveying and boundary law, and students in surveying courses.
