With a compass and chain, a set of handwritten field notes and antique survey equipment, participants will strike out across the prairie with HPE instructors and their assistants in search of old boundary corners. This exercise will allow young and old surveyors to collaborate on ideas and methods of working without the use of modern technology.
Presenter: Michael Newton
Class participants will be able to listen to Michael's experiences in following pioneer surveyors, including their methodology. During the field portion of the class, participants will be able to use antique surveying equipment.
