art boundaries evidence
Learning how to weigh evidence and fairly re-establish a boundary can be as much an art as a science.
technology reality expectations
There's a popular misconception that property boundaries are based on coordinates that surveyors can simply "walk to" with our instruments. The reality is that, while physical coordination of monuments is easier than it's ever been, property boundaries often need to be determined based on evidence and plans that are old, decrepit, and done with different technology and expectations than we have today.
