The art and science of Surveying and Mapping has a rich heritage, most recently being a vital part of the settlement and building of America. While relying on the work of past surveyors and cartographers, the Professional Surveyor solves modern land boundary, location, and mapping problems by applying knowledge and skills in mathematics, law, local land history, map design, business, and through the use of some very cool advanced technology.
