Drawing invisible lines on the Sierra Nevada can sometimes contribute to the general peace, but the lines seem to have a power of their own, or as Abe once told me, "you can mess around with a guy's wife, take his money, and that might all be all right, but if you start fooling with his property it means war." Over and over, we have found this to be true. Here in California, where the westering pioneers finally ran out of horizon and the Pacific Ocean turned them back into our fertile valleys and lush foothills, we have become a State of shifting restless natives and as the once wide-open spaces become divided and re-divided into smaller and smaller lots, we find ourselves face to face with our neighbors and ourselves and the invisible lines become tangible; fences, walls and the territorial boundaries of our own creativity.
As builders and developers, humans have a unique role in changing our environment. We now understand that every project, no matter how small, affects the greater whole, and how we can maintain a sustainable presence as human beings on a green and beautiful planet. As we gain a greater understanding of the function of the Earth's ecology, accurate resource mapping grows ever more important. Good land development requires an inventory of the biological, cultural and physical features of any given site.
We are involved in various projects primarily in Nevada, Placer, Yuba and Sierra Counties. Other types of work we engage in include construction staking, resource delineation, permaculture site consultation and subdivision work. Corner searches involve sending survey technicians into the field to search for and flag existing corner markers. These markers may be pieces of iron pipe or rebar which were driven into the ground during a previous survey. The markers often have a tag or cap with the prior surveyor's license number.
