Special Event: Meet Me at the Corner land surveying presentation in St. Paul
Last year the State of Minnesota invested $9.7 million to preserve Minnesota Public Land Survey System (PLSS) section corners that define property boundaries. Join professional land surveyors next Wednesday, March 20 for this spring's Meet Me at the Corner event to gain insight into what the PLSS is and what this funding will be used for.
Attendees will receive a demonstration of historical and modern land surveying equipment, learn how surveyors kept a local land marker ("monument") on the same exact spot for 150 years, and discover how lost markers are re-established.
This event is free and outdoors – bring your friends, family, or colleagues:
