Information about Georgia Boundary Surveying
The history and location of boundaries are seeped in the history of the world from prerecorded times to today. These boundaries are a result of action and law. Boundaries are to be found in the areas of history, politics, surveying and law.
Humans create boundaries in several ways and for the sake of simplicity, these may be placed in the following categories:
1. By action. Physical acts require a line and points on the ground. This is followed by placing actual monuments at the corner points and identifying these points corners and line objects. The lines and objects are then described and may be identified on the plats or field notes.
2. By writings. The written word becomes the method of creation when a person describes corners and/or lines in a deed and then conveys to these described lines, prior to the completion of a survey.
3. By law. Ancient common and modern statutes are relied on to create, modify, and relocate many modern boundaries.
