Horizontal Curve Layout and Slope Staking Made Easy

Want to improve your understanding of retracing historic right-of-way boundaries? Curious how to evaluate found monuments that don't appear to agree?

Join the PLSO Willamette Chapter for a hands-on workshop on Saturday, August 1, hosted at Cascade Timber Consulting in Sweet Home.

Instructor: John Wise, PLS, former Linn County surveyor with extensive experience in public road surveys.

The day will begin with an indoor presentation, followed by field exercises and demonstrations covering horizontal curve layout and slope staking.
