Description:

Abstract:

This feature class contains section corner coordinates established using survey grade GPS supplemented by traditional surveying methodology when corners were not directly observable.

Purpose:

The corner data was collected primarily to support the development of a countywide GIS parcel database and to support the local survey community and denisfy control.
