Who is destroying our profession, ourselves or others?

Here is a link to a series of pdfs showing a survey I performed in 1997. If you examine this survey and the attached documents I think you will be asking yourself the same question.

Update of survey performed by me in 1997....

If you examine the above survey closely and pull the supporting documents listed on it you should arrive at a number of conclusions.

This problem concerning this parcel has been present in the record and on the ground since as early as 1929. Subsequent surveyors who were not the original surveyor of this subdivision have staked out all the parcels in this block, West of the subject tract, 10 feet in error. Various attempts have been made by surveyors, scriveners and title insurance firms to fix this problem and all of them have only managed to obfuscate this problem even more. I doubt any who attempted to "fix" the problem had a clue as to the true nature of it.
