Compass Land Surveying

Arguably the most famous West Virginia surveyor, F. Henry Sipe (WV #001) was instrumental in the licensing movement for the profession. He served on the WV Board of Examiners of Land Surveyors and was a great contributor to the WV State Code that regulates surveying. Highly opinionated and unrelenting in his rigorous approach to land surveying, F. Henry's principles and methodology will be followed for years to come. This volume is a true reference work often used as a college textbook for compass surveying. Other than the outdated economic formulas, this book is extremely valuable in understanding the basis of hundreds of early legal descriptions still being used for modern deed conveyances. Compass Land Surveying is a must-have for all WV licensed surveyors as well as anyone aspiring to become licensed.
