NATIONAL SURVEYOR'S WEEK - DISPLAY

Yes, there is a display in our County building in the hallway to celebrate National Surveyor's Week.
Mt Diablo Surveyors Historical Society has graciously provided some items to display such as a solar transit, chain, bearing tree markings, USPLSS posts along with a few items from our County Surveyor's Office.
There are several pictures of interest and you'll just have to come and see if you know any of them.

Thank you to MDSHS for their cooperation and for lending some instruments and items.


Drop by to see the display.
There is still one hour parking just outside the West Wing.
The display is in the hallway between the East and West Wing, closer to the West Wing building.

Enjoy!

2011 SMA and PLS

Just a reminder that the 2011 Subdivision Map Act and Professional Land Surveyor's Act are now effective.
You can get the booklets from CLSA (California Land Surveyors Association).  The PLS Act also had additional related codes included.
The SMA booklet also has an index which is very handy.  Remember these printed booklets might cost a few bucks BUT it doesn't require any batteries or a computer to view and are easy to carry around.  And if you're like me, I just move my handy Post-It's from my old one to the nice new one.

And yes you can obtain this information online but I find the booklets easier to use especially when I need to bring them to a meeting and use as a reference.
