The system of land surveys of this country is based on such inaccurate methods that in nearly all the older States, where the land has greatly increased in value, the original surveys are no longer a suitable basis for subdivision of property. Since old boundary marks cannot be disturbed, resurveys merely determine their true positions, without correcting the irregularities of boundary lines; and consequently it would be much more satisfactory as well as economical if the original surveys were based on permanent marks established by an accurate system of triangulation.
