I'm got new fence to put up and have a hill in KS to deal with. Well more like about a 25' rise. I suppose every property line in GA has a hill in it.

Where a tree has grown around on marker, I can offset about 6'. I've also tried running a laser at night. Have a star spotter that would probably laze for a quarter mile except for the hill. Once a laser is set up, I can mark the post placements very easy. Lasers don't go through dirt is the problem and can't guarantee stakes are perfectly vertical.

I've used construction transits. You know it is level when you can swing from one corner of a building and back and hit the starting spot again. They are available and cheap since most have gone to lasers.

I'll check on a surveyor's transit which may be the same as a builder's. Guess I'm kind of a rear end about accuracy. Can you accurately swing a transit around exactly 180 degrees exactly? I'd hate to think my line was more than an inch off for a 1320' run. I'd still put the fence in a little from the line but still nice to know how far inside it is. In some places, the fence becomes the property line so you have to be careful where you put it as much as I'd like to be able to run a mower on both sides and be on my property but then the pheasant people don't want fence lines mowed.

I think anymore if the county commission had to settle a fence dispute, they would send out the county surveyor who would be using his dgps or whatever to find the lines. They probably wouldn't even come out.

Most cities and counties have all properties laid out on a GIS system that you can access online usually through the assessors or treasurers offices. You can turn on satellite view with the line overlay. That can get you close. But they can be off of the property pins as well. Problem is that the width of the line can be a foot on the ground but it will get you close. Even a pencil line on a topo map is a few feet wide on the ground.
