The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Cadastral Survey Training Program, established in 1970, was created to address the lack of suitable teaching materials on the subject of cadastral surveying. At the time, few publications existed on the topic, and none were fully adequate for instructional purposes. A significant portion of the program's early efforts was dedicated to developing appropriate training materials, including this comprehensive book. This compilation on Public Lands Surveys is designed for both self-study and classroom instruction. It enables individuals with a background in survey technology to master the fundamentals of Public Lands Surveying, particularly the resurveys of such lands, as guided by this book and the Manual of Surveying Instructions. Beyond its instructional use, this casebook serves as a valuable reference for practicing surveyors, addressing numerous recurring challenges not covered in other publications. Developed under the U.S. Department of the Interior's BLM Cadastral Survey Training Program, this resource equips users with practical knowledge and skills essential for accurate and effective surveying.
