We have hired a surveyor to locate a boundary between our ranches. My second cousins want to sell and we need to get this done.
Our great grandfather bought our ranch in 1892. His brother bought the one to the south. It is a metes and bounds description in chains based on an earlier survey and was originally a Mexican land grant. He seems to be very busy and can not work on it often. The surveyor has been out two times and taken shots on some fence lines. He seems to be kind of befuddled and is not coming back until March. He has promised a preliminary map which he has not done yet.
I have urged him to consult field notes from some of the old surveys. I have been of the understanding that most surveys had field notes associated with them that are only available to licensed surveyors. He claims the county does not keep these records.
I have studied this extensively for the last 60 years but was stopped by lack of access to the field notes. The line is close to our buildings. There has always been a question as to whether the barn was on our side or theirs. Great grandfather is said to have built the barn. The brothers may have shared the barn, I don't know.
The county has an online map that line seems to move.The surveyor agreed it is probably inaccurate. It is now including more buildings and approaching the house. We have agreed to do a lot line adjustment if necessary but we still need to locate those points.
Is there anyone out there that would have any insight.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
