There are actually more famous land surveyors in history than you might think. In fact, historical land surveyors are an important part of the country’s settling.</p><p><strong>1. George Washington</strong></p><p>One of America’s most famous (and earliest) land surveyors is <a href="http://www.mountvernon.org/digital-encyclopedia/article/surveying/">George Washington himself</a>. The young future president got his bright start at the age of 17 in 1749. It was not long until he was appointed to be the Surveyor General for Virginia. Washington actually played an essential role at this time, because surveying the land promoted expansion westward.</p><p><strong>2. Daniel Boone</strong></p><p>As an American pioneer and explorer from Kentucky, Daniel Boone resolved settler’s claims to land. The legend was known to have spent much of his time traveling around the American frontier. In spite of the fact that he had no formal schooling, Boone went on to become an expert tracker by the time he was a teenager. In the years following, he took to surveying.</p><p><strong>3. Thomas Jefferson</strong></p><p>George Washington wasn’t the only president to work as a surveyor. Thomas Jefferson was appointed to work as the Albermarle County surveyor in Virginia in 1773. He also promoted surveying by sending Lewis & Clark on their expedition to explore the land gained through the Louisiana Purchase.</p><p><strong>4. Henry David Thoreau</strong></p><p>Though most might know of Thoreau as an author, he actually became a surveyor in the 1850s before he published his books. Being a surveyor allowed Thoreau to use his career to facilitate his hobby. Thoreau used his observations to journal his ideas.</p><p><strong>5. Benjamin Banneker</strong></p><p>As a self-taught African-American mathematician and surveyor, Benjamin Banneker was remarkably successful. In 1789, Washington even appointed Banneker to be part of the team surveying the future site of Washington, D.C. The project took about two years.</p><p><strong>6. Abraham Lincoln</strong></p><p>The nation’s 16th president got his start as a self-educated man in Kentucky. He worked as a storekeeper and postmaster in addition to surveying land and studying law at the same time. It is clear that Lincoln was a man with a great deal of talent and many skills, seeing how much time he spent participating in different types of work before he became president.</p><p><strong>7 & 8: William Clark & Meriwether Lewis</strong></p><p><a href="https://geodesy.noaa.gov/LewisAndClark/information.html">Lewis and Clark</a> were tasked with some of the most intensive land surveying in American history. While Lewis had a reputation as more of a planner, Clark was an expert surveyor and mapmaker. Together, the partners traveled across the land then known as the Louisiana Purchase, making their way to Oregon to scout it out.</p></div>Happy Independence Day, USA!https://landsurveyorsunited.com/photo/liberty-4th2019-07-04T17:18:57.000Z2019-07-04T17:18:57.000ZJustin Farrowhttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/surveyors/justin<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3193589388?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p>Our <a href="https://usalandsurveyors.glideapp.io/" target="_blank">United States Land Surveyors App</a> has been updated!</p></div>Setting Controlhttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/photo/setting-control-12016-04-13T23:36:17.000Z2016-04-13T23:36:17.000ZPatrick Gogginhttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/surveyors/PatrickGoggin<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1206255227?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div>SW Florida near Ft.

NEW POISONOUS SPIDER IN THE UNITED STATES A spider bite...please read............ And you thought the brown recluse was bad!!! Three women in North Florida , turned up at hospitals over a 5-day period, all with the same symptoms. Fever, chills, and vomiting, followed by muscular collapse, paralysis, and finally, death. There were no outward signs of trauma. Autopsy results showed toxicity in the blood. These women did not know each other, and seemed to have nothing in common. It was discovered, however, that they had all visited the same Restaurant (Olive Garden) within days of their deaths.. The health department descended on the restaurant, shutting it down. The food, water, and air conditioning were all inspected and tested, to no avail. The big break came when a waitress at the restaurant was rushed to the hospital with similar symptoms. She told doctors that she had been on vacation, and had only went to the restaurant to pick up her check. She did not eat or drink while she was there, but had used the restroom. That is when one toxicologist, remembering an article he had read, drove out to the restaurant, went into the restroom, and lifted the toilet seat. Under the seat, out of normal view, was a small spider. The spider was captured and brought back to the lab, where it was determined to be the Two-Striped Telamonia (Telamonia dimidiata), so named because of its reddened flesh color. This spider's venom is extremely toxic, but can take several days to take effect. They live in cold, dark, damp climates, and toilet rims provide just the right atmosphere. Several days later a lawyer from Jacksonville showed up at a hospital emergency room. Before his death, he told the doctor, that he had been away on business, had taken a flight from Indonesia , changing planes in Singapore, before returning home. He did not visit (Olive Garden), while there. He did, as did all of the other victims, have what was determined to be a puncture wound, on his right buttock. Investigators discovered that the flight he was on had originated in India . The Civilian Aeronautics Board (CAB) ordered an immediate inspection of the toilets of all flights from India , and discovered the Two-Striped Telamonia (Telamonia dimidiata) spider's nests on 4 different planes! It is now believed that these spiders can be anywhere in the country. So please, before you use a public toilet, lift the seat to check for spiders. It can save your life!

</div>Young George Washington Surveyorhttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/photo/young-george-washington-surveyor2012-08-17T23:45:35.000Z2012-08-17T23:45:35.000ZSkip Farrowhttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/surveyors/SkipFarrow<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1206103788?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div>This image illustrates Washington's life as a young surveyor. Washington is looking through a circumferentor set on a tripod. A portion of a circular protractor arches across the top and a proportional compass sits on a survey completed by Washington for Henry Enoch in 1759.As far as we can tell from the pages and pages of definitions and problems in the exercise books, a great deal of George's school work was in math. His knowledge of geometry led to a prestigious and profitable career as a surveyor.Because so many people in Virginia wanted to move "west," (in the 1750s, this meant over the Blue Ridge Mountains--link to map of settlement in 1750), official measurements and records of land were in great demand.When he was only 17, Washington accepted a position as a "county surveyor." In the early spring and late fall, when the foliage was thin and visibility was good, Washington would travel by horseback to the areas he was to measure and describe. At least three assistants accompanied him: two "chain carriers" used a 33-foot long chain of wrought iron to measure the lines of the parcel, and a "marker" notched trees along the boundary of the property.In the three years he spent as a surveyor, young George earned a large sum of money and also acquired over 2,000 acres of land for himself. Later in life, Washington used his surveying skills to measure his own property and farms, and his familiarity with approximating distances and using a compass aided him in the French and Indian and Revolutionary Wars.</div>Ground Penetrating Radarhttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/photo/ground-penetrating-radar-12011-12-14T01:20:23.000Z2011-12-14T01:20:23.000ZEric Williamshttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/surveyors/EricWilliams<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1198985985?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div>Locating underground water line.
