Accurately assessing utility infrastructure can be a lot tougher than it appears.
Surveyors determine horizontal and vertical distances between objects, measure angles between lines, determine the direction of lines, and establish points of predetermined angular and linear measurements.

Surveyor 1 obtained close-up views of some individual larger rocks, such as shown below.
Surveyors traditionally transferred heights between benchmarks using levelling equipment based on gravity.

Land surveyors use COGO functions to enter survey data, to calculate precise locations and boundaries, to define curves, and so on.

In the field, triangulation methods were apparently not used by the Roman specialist land surveyors, the agromensores; but were introduced into medieval Spain through Arabic treatises on the astrolabe, such as that by Ibn al-Saffar (d. 1035).

In each state*, early surveyors established a principal meridian running north-south, and a base line running east-west.
The duties of a license land surveyor include:
Conducting the field survey and measurements,
Calculation of dimensions and areas of land being surveyed,
Preparation of maps detailing the boundary lines and areas of lands, and ...
This is not a projection but a coordinate system that came into use in the United States in the 1930s when the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey used it to provide a common reference system to surveyors and mappers.
1. Abbreviation of the term COordinate GeOmetry. Land surveyors use COGO functions to enter survey data, to calculate precise locations and boundaries, to define curves, and so on.
Ex. Contour lines connect points of equal surface value.
For users with higher accuracy, availability, and integrity requirements -- such as commercial airlines, ships navigating within harbors, railroads performing precise train control, precision farmers and miners, and surveyors -- GPS will still need ...

Surveyors use GPS to map construction sites and property lines. Forestry, mineral exploration, and wildlife habitat management all use GPS to precisely define positions of important assets and to identify changes.
Frequently, people gather geographic in numerical form. A GPS receiver, for example, gathers sequences of point coordinates. Surveyors can report surveyed points in coordinate form or in range-bearing format (essentially a local polar coordinate ...

[data quality] The closeness of a repeated set of observations of the same quantity to one another. Precision is a measure of the control over random error. For example, assessment of the quality of a surveyor's work is based in part on the precision ...
In a nutshell, this states that you can have 15% of your land use or land cover classifications incorrect and your errors can't all be on one land cover or land use type and that accuracy must be maintained between surveyors.
According to our concept of data capture, if those are applied to the fundamental data set then only for the sake of updates. In these cases the functions should be controlled by the specialists (surveyors, photogrammeters, cartographers) which have ...
It is important to realize, however, that precise data--no matter how carefully measured--may be inaccurate. Surveyors may make mistakes or data may be entered into the database incorrectly.

Because SPCS 83 is presently published by NGS only in meters, many surveyors, mappers, engineers, and LIS users are converting these metric values to feet. [..
precision rivals most surveying systems in use up to the present. Furthermore, the GPSs ease of use makes it an attractive technological answer to locational and surveying needs of everyone from hunters and hikers to scientists and licensed surveyors.
Surveyors may make mistakes or data may be entered into the database incorrectly. Therefore, a distinction is made between precision and accuracy.
