The Northern California Section of the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping presents a one-day workshop Friday, October 22, 2004:
THE GLO, A RANCHO & THE COUNTY SURVEYOR
(A Menu for Chaos)
By
Bud Uzes and Steve Parrish
The General Land Office (GLO) commissioned Deputy Surveyors to survey a Township, (in present day Napa County) and an overlapping Rancho, in various stages between 1853 and 1869. Lands were patented, entrymen settled in and County Surveyors retraced and subdivided certain sections. As land values steadily increased, more attention was given to boundaries and an ever-increasing number of property surveys were initiated. As so often happens, boundary disputes surfaced and landowners engaged surveyors and legal council to resolve their differences.
The south Township line presents a particular retracement challenge, due to its irregular alignment, variation with record bearings and distances, and multiple retracement activities. Section 34, being the focal point of this workshop, presents a challenging problem in evaluation of original surveys, proportionment methods, occupancy, County Surveyor authority and fence line analysis.
Join Bud Uzes and Steve Parrish as they recreate the history of this Township/Rancho survey and present evidence supporting their individual retracement efforts. Throughout the presentation attendees will be encouraged to offer opinions and have the opportunity to serve as “judge and jury” in their own resolution of the boundary issue.
Date: Friday, October 22, 2004, 8am – 4:30pm, includes lunch
Location: University of Phoenix
