Introduction
If you've ever dug around a corner monument and found three, four, or even ten separate pins all within a couple of feet of each other, congratulationsâyou've encountered one of the land surveying profession's most persistent and damaging phenomena: the pincushion corner.
Itâs one of the most visible signs of disunity in our field. Not only does it confuse property owners, courts, and future surveyorsâit directly undermines public confidence in what we do. And yet, it keepsâŚ

Strap in and grab your Trimble, because Episode 252 of The Geoholics takes us on a globetrotting, tech-loving, swamp-sloshing survey saga with none other than Chad Maxwell, PLSâa man whoâs mapped more terrain than your Roomba on espresso.
We kick things off with the usual âJake Owen sings while KG wings itâ intro, followed by breaking news from the land of satellite miners, career advice from the GeoSearch crew, and an ESRI pro tip that may or may not involve chair-basedâŚ
United States, NE Pa.Looking for an experienced crew chief for heavy civil highway and site layout. Knowledge of robotic and RTK GPS survey equipment is required. Experience with computer survey software is a plus, but not required. If interested please send emails to [email protected]
I wrote this article 15 years ago and the code has since changed, however, this is as true today as it was then.  Chain! A recent article in the Journal of the Gulf Coast Surveyor Chain! Written by Deward Karl Bowles Texas Administrative Code, Title 22, Part 29, Chapter 664, Rule 664.3 now states: "Beginning January 2011, a registrant, to be eligible for renewal of the certificate of registration, must accrue at least twelve (12) hours of completed board approved professional developmentâŚ
Weâre Not Just Writing About SurveyingâWeâre Writing Toward It
Thereâs no shortage of noise in the surveying world these daysâautomation this, AI that, another software company promising the end of fieldwork as we know it. At the same time, public understanding of what surveyors actually do seems to be fading fast. Ask ten people on the street, and half will tell you itâs something to do with construction. The other half wonât be sure at all.
For many surveyors, this disconnect isnât justâŚ

The Line Isnât the Boundary â Understanding Legal Constructs
Key Point: A boundary is a legal idea first, a physical point second.
You can measure it. You can mark it. You can stake it with millimeter precision. But that still doesnât make it a boundary â at least not in the legal sense.
Surveyors learn early on that what seems like a straightforward line in the field often conceals a far more complex truth. A âboundaryâ isnât just a line between two GPS points, or a fence line thatâs beenâŚ

In this data-drenched episode, Kent, Producer Sean and Russ Hall bring the heat with updates, promos, and a life-altering reminder that you can impact anyone within 3 feetâŚunless youâre holding a GNSS roverâin which case, give them a little more room.
Enter Ted Knaak, the President of TopoDOT and certified geospatial Jedi. Ted takes us on a journey from Jersey Shore roots to launching Riegl USA in the 90s, and then mic-dropping the geospatial world with TopoDOT in 2011âbecauseâŚ
