If you wish to plot your land description on the actual ground, then you need
SURVEY LAND YOURSELF.
With a surveying compass and tape, you can survey it yourself, quickly, easily,
and inexpensively. You can find lost or disputed corners and lines, calculate
acreage, and write land descriptions such that anyone can find your boundary at
a later time. You can establish test plots, subdivide property, layout
building foundations, formal landscapes & gaming fields, hide & recover buried
treasure, or even map a cave. Despite the fact that this surveying method was
devised to survey caves with the help of a computer, neither the cave nor the
computer is necessary.
No magic! The reason that you can survey it yourself so quickly, easily, and
inexpensively is that you accept an error of 1% or 2%. Normally, a precision
of 98% or 99% is much more than sufficient for my purposes. It could be for
yours too. This is about the same precision as you can draw with a pencil,
paper, ruler, and protractor. If you are real careful.
"Survey It Yourself: A Quick, Easy, and Inexpensive Preliminary Survey Using
the Compass & Tape Method", if printed, is presently 83 pages and 2 graphs
long. I certainly didn't need that much space to teach you to survey, but I
included lots of extras. These instructions are written in <AMER_ENG.LNG>
[that's Standard American English with occasional lapses into British,
Newspeak, computerese and pseudocode]. Your computer is assumed to be a pencil
and paper.
The actual program included with SLY to handle the data which you have surveyed
is the predecessor to DEEDPLOT. If you tell DEEDPLOT that you have surveyed
your data yourself rather than copied it from a deed, then it will plot your
survey.
