Certified Corner Record Form sketch https://www.osls.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1186287 Thu, 9 Jul 2026 09:20:57 GMT Wed, 1 Feb 2017 18:26:50 GMT Copyright © 2017 Oklahoma Society of Land Surveyors Certified Corner Record Form sketch https://www.osls.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1186287 https://www.osls.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1186287 What makes a good (or not so good) sketch on a Certified Corner Record? The Instruction Manual for the Certified Corner Record form only states the following:

 

9. Sketch
• Make a neat sketch showing the relative positions of the monument and reference points.
• Give dimensions, with topographic features, names and widths of streets (if known)
• North arrow
• Show location of monuments at this corner which conflict with your position. Note if they are shown on previously filed Certified Corner Records.
• To the extent possible, show the location of the supporting evidence in the sketch

 

Should they be drawn to scale?

Should distances be horizontal or slope?

Should distances to the nearest GLO corners also be shown?

Should distances to the nearest GLO corners also be shown? Can't hurt, but not necessary if coordinates are shown on other GLO corners]]> Wed, 6 Jan 2016 23:56:58 GMT https://www.osls.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1194861 https://www.osls.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1194861
Distances? Considering how many references are in trees with branches or which may be leaning... there are many times when a slope distance is the only measurement you can make. And, in my experience, the measurement that usually matches in the field.

I agree, distances to nearest GLO corners can't hurt. And can help when trying to clear up confusion if multiple monuments exist. I hesitate to say they should be shown.]]> Fri, 29 Jan 2016 21:17:32 GMT https://www.osls.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1332006 https://www.osls.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1332006 Wed, 1 Feb 2017 19:26:50 GMT
