  • Patent number: 5414462
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a comprehensive land survey map is provided in which an image base map of a geographical survey region and a legal description map for each land parcel or lot within the geographical survey region are stored in a geographic information system (GIS). A remote sensing device is utilized to collect precise position data at survey points located on, near or adjacent the parcel of interest. The precise position data generated by the remote device is supplied to the GIS, which uses the data to correlate and align the legal description map for the parcel of interest with a portion of the image base map to create a comprehensive survey map for the parcel.
