Author’s Note: These standards, dated 1984, are the older standards that existed prior to the advent of GPS surveys. Since 1985, newer standards have been proposed to incorporate the impacts of changing technology such as GPS and GIS. There are still many instances where these older standards are applicable in surveying, especially where non-GPS methods are involved.
