In the summer of 2020, our survey department teamed with Western Heritage as the engineer and WURX Construction as the contractor for a unique, Wild West-like, project. In the vast, open lands of San Miguel County outside Naturita, the lines of our client’s 3030-acre property were being challenged by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Most properties in this country are tiny lots subdivided from 1-mile by 1-mile sections as defined by the Public Land Surveys System (PLSS); Our client’s property spanned across 9 different sections! To add to the challenge, the property shared a boundary with a township line. Before sections were created in accordance with the PLSS, 6-mile by 6-mile townships had to be surveyed. In order to properly locate all the lines of our client’s parcel, our team had to retrace parts of the original township survey performed by Geo. D. Nickel, U.S. Deputy Surveyor, from 1881-1882. Relying on the rules of PLSS, dedication, experience, and perseverance, we were able to find most corners of our client’s exterior boundary. As surveyors, our duty is to the line, and in this situation, we were pleased that in the lines refuted the BLM in favor of our client.

River City Consultants survey department recently completed its first project in support of the FAA’s Airports Geographic Information Systems (AGIS) at the Fremont County Airport in Cañon City, CO. This was a post construction survey. The project required front-end research, a new data collection library, and formatting the final Autocad file to meet FAA standards. The River City Consultants survey team is excited join the field of AGIS data collection surveyors!
