Naming Streets is Serious Business...Except in Houston, Texas!
As a professional land surveyor, many times I have been able to name streets in the land development projects I'm working on, but I would never burden a potential homeowner with these embarrassing street names!
PALM MF 1 AND ALMEDA RESIDENTIAL, Film Code 702440, Map Records of Harris County, Texas. Surveyed and engineered by LJA in case you were wondering.

South Carolina PLS Exam
I’m scheduled for the exam in November, and I’m checking to see if anyone has a copy of the South Carolina Boundary Law Compendium I could buy. The SC Bar Association is impossible to reach, no one there answers email or phone.

STFU and Get Back to Work!
Written in 1857 by a General Land Office Deputy Surveyor, but I’m sure we office folks can still find this relevant!

US Government Pincushion
Well, this is a first time seeing this, the federal government pincushioning itself in Eddy County, New Mexico! Tall monument is a quarter corner stamped 1941 and set during the dependent resurvey, and the stubby monument directly next to it was set by the US Reclamation Service in 1914. 1941 field notes even call out the 1914 cap, BUT WHY?

Old Texas PLS Certificate
Years ago in Houston, a local engineering company next door to my office closed down, and this along with a lot of other stuff was thrown out.
I never knew R. J. Putney, Texas RPS 1128 licensed in 1957, or anything about his career, but our Texas certificates sure have come a long way!
