My professor explain this horribly, thank you king

Thank you so much Guruji!

Range lines run North East, so wouldn't Range be 4 and township line 3?

I live in New England and i envy folks whose land is surveyed and defined w the Jeffersonian system. My property is "beginning at a point adjacent to the Smith farm, formerly Johnson, then proceeding generally south west along a rock wall 231 feet and some inches to a steel pipe set in a boulder, then crossing a wood road 12 feet 8 inches to the east to a rock..."

Thank you, Michael...that was an exceptional video.

19:50 the camels are on there because he used the pace of a caravan of camels as a means to measure the approximate distance between Alexandria and Syene.

How do you figure out the area?

this dudes hilarious and taught this very well. likes up from me!

good information. But calling Thomas Jefferson a communist and a monster is a bit much. Not only is the communist label wildly incorrect and flat out wrong, but even the monster label is coming at it out of context. Everyone agrees slavery is wrong and inexcusable, but labels like 'monster' are probably best saved for people like Stalin, Hitler, Guevara, Tito, Hussein. Applying 'Monster' to Jefferson trivializes what real monsters are. I'm not a fan of Jefferson, but empirically was no communist. Even avowed communists do not assert that Jefferson was a communist. They can cherry pick some traits or comments that are similar to communist theory, but he was never a communist of any sort. Clearly, you know your stuff about PLSS which I found really helpful. But the 'monster' and 'communist' labels are extremely wrong. Nonetheless. Thank you for this explanation.

Does minutes relate to the bearing of the line? Or the distance???

you are so full of it and brainwashed asf.

Just a quick question, what exactly is the meaning of "accuracy" on a theodolite manual. To be specific the Futtura Dt10 states accuracy 20" 10" it was written exactly like that with a couple of spaces between 20 and 10.. thats mostly feet they are referring to right?

How many acres are in following legal description E 1/2 of SW 1/4 of NE 1/4 of Section 23 40 acres? 160 acres? 10 acres? 20 acres? Video you have, 19 minutes and 8 second long, why didn't you go over the major description?

Why you calling yourself dummy front of many viewers?

Thank you sir❤

Thank you for this video. It was a great explanation and added value to the teeny tiny bit I learned on my own. Do you have any video on how to read the coordinates? I tried contacting a county Planner, but haven't heard back. I can read the coordinates for simple aliquots of sections, but when it starts to have quarters of quarters of quarters of NE or whatever, I get lost.

Thank you!

that was great information but I also got a headache from it, Thank you for being so detailed. You laid it out so easy for me.

Michael is the goat

The sections were numbered that way so that no two sections with the same number would touch each other. Also the townships on each side know section numbers would be the same next to each other. That is why they are numbered in that manner

I'm about a 1/4 mile from what I'm told is a survey corner Intersection, I have bare property and the county WON'T give me a physical address, the neighbors on my north & south side have a address but the numbers are far apart, I'm told the 911 address are determined somehow in FEET from the corner intersecting point, is there a WAY to find out my actual 911 address in case I need to call 911 while doing work alone on the property? The county emphatically WON'T give me a 911 address

Jefferson was a genius.

thank you so much! this video was absolutely clutch for studying for my upcoming Science Olympiad Road Scholar event.

Great video and explanation, ya dig!!!!!!!!?

I want a lot in Waterloo

You're a really good teacher! That was so helpful!!!

This is is awesome! I am helping out with mentoring of Science Olympiad Road Scholar event for the first time this year. You turned something complicated into something so simple. By the way, I love the references regarding Thomas Jefferson. It made me laugh out loud. Thanks for posting.

You can drop the white hate.

Sorry but everyone owning land can't be called communism. Otherwise great video.....thank you.

I'm great with the video, but impugning the image of the great Thomas Jefferson...I hope that was tongue-in-cheek....

what about blocks? what are blocks?

This was the BEST EXPLAINED VIDEO!! I’ve looked at so many and just couldn’t understand what in the world they were talking about ! It’s like they expect you to follow along so quickly but I loved the way you broke everything down and included the amounts of acres and all that it really made so much sense thank you so much!

I thought tiers were left to right and range lines were north to south

Thank you sir.

Thank you so much, you helped me understand this for my real estate exam

Great explanation! 74 and I can still learn things! I was trying to understand a survey map on some land I purchased .

Thank you×1,000,000

Thank you for making and uploading this video. You explained it so clearly and now I have a much better understanding of how this system works.

sound very low even with headphones

Where does calculus fit into surveying?

I’m not studying anything or buying anything. I’m just some guy trying to give a hydro company directions to his house. All these websites and “explanations” that require you to have at least a base knowledge of the field before even knowing where to copy paste a few numbers from is soooooo unnecessarily complicated and annoying.

Very well explained!

Sir i have a few questions about survey sketchs

Watching this video is like watching paint dry 😀

THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH I DIG =)

thank you sir

Thank you for explaining this super in-depth!

I think there is an error at 16:18 min. you say section 8 is T3S when it's actually T2S. Can you please Clarify ? I'm starting from the baseline calculating up. Also for Section 23 isn't it T1N ? Section 35 seems correct .. please answer cause now I'm completely confused.

Thank you so much for this video. It cleared many concepts up for me

Thank you
