For most people looking at a world map from 1500 that shows land masses more or less the way we know they look, the first question to come to mind is likely to be "How did they do that?" This talk will try to answer that question by examining the basics of earth measurement from antiquity to the 19th century. Robert W. Karrow, Jr. is Curator of Maps and Curator of Special Collections at the Newberry Library in Chicago. He has a doctorate in history, has published and lectured widely in the history of cartography and has a particular interest in the history of surveying.

It was created in the mid 1980's as an interpretation of BLMs colorful history. The historical perspective presented centers around the uses, federal laws, and landmark events on Americas public lands which contributed to the fractured land ownership patterns that remain today.The series is divided into 2 broad sections the first is called The Public Disposal Era and consists of videos 1 - 6. The second is called Conservation and Beyond and covers videos 7 -13.The thirteen chapters in this chronology trace the settlement of the West from colonial times through the passage of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), which provides BLM with its multiple use mission.Set against the backdrop of dynamic economic, social, and environmental change, and with shifting national priorities, this series explains how the missions of the General Land Office and the U.S. Grazing Service were merged with a stroke of the pen by President Harry S. Truman in 1946 to create the Bureau of Land ManagementDisclaimer: The opinions and statements of non-BLM personnel are included to illustrate alternative points of view at the time and do not necessarily represent the official position of the BLM.</div>Surveyors and 100 year old transithttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/video/surveyors-and-100-year-old-transit2019-02-25T15:05:08.000Z2019-02-25T15:05:08.000ZSkip Farrowhttps://landsurveyorsunited.com/surveyors/SkipFarrow<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1200750837?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div>The Lincoln County Surveyor's Office serves the public by helping the public and other entities with survey related questions, filing and indexing property surveys, subdivisions and partitions, restoring lost or obliterated government survey corners, checking subdivision plats, properties and roads.<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.co.lincoln.or.us/surveyor/">http://www.co.lincoln.or.us/surveyor/</a></div>
