That area of land is known by surveyors to be problematic. Generally charging higher fees because of the amount of research needed I was told. Most of the trees and ditches are long gone.

I was told by a good friend that’s been in the land/timber business all of his 60 plus years of life that the way land gets surveyed certain sections gain or lose depending on the starting point. He’s mention the 7 year deal and fences and also that once 20 years has passed then that survey will tend to hold in court more so than a new one.

I find it strange that there are many variables or then again maybe it isn’t.
