What would you make of this
I’m locating the south ROW the length of this subdivision and into the curve on Lot 6, a portion of the ROW is drawn as a tangent with a length of 46.14′. Width of the ROW is consistently (?) 50′. A drafting error? The width can’t be 25′ either side of centerline if that segment is a tangent. Checking against the physical centerline supports it being on the curve, but another surveyor set his corner 7′ south of that position and I just can’t make his corner work in either scenario. So, either the ROW width is consistently 50′, or it’s not (here and only here). The plat was done in 1965 with wood hubs set. I actually recovered a couple (spagnum moss is a wonderful preservative), along with half a dozen other surveyor’s corners who have taken a swipe at it over the years and only in this one location can I not reconcile one of those recovered corners. I’m treating the offending corner as a witness. Thankfully I don’t need to set any of my own caps, just stake the ROW limits.
