Unless your county's deeds and plats are rather different from Orange County's, everything (outside pre-PLSS land grants and maybe a few other areas) falls back not on lat/lon, but on the Public Land Survey System and its "certified corner records": http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0100-0199/0177/Sections/0177.507.html I guess your point is that everything can be surveyed, even something that's not "on the ground" if you have a description in relation to on-the-ground features. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
