The Art of Retracement Part 1
February 10, 2025
9:00 AM - 11:40 AM EST
Registration Fee: $99.00
3 Credit Hours. Mandatory credits for Indiana
Every professional surveyor across the United States knows the phrase “Follow in the Footsteps” as it relates to conducting a boundary retracement survey. But what does it really mean and what is the basis for following the footsteps? And exactly whose footsteps are we talking about? What happens when the evidence of the footsteps on the ground conflicts with the written title? What if the written title description is ambiguous? What if there are seemingly no footsteps to follow? When armed with a full understanding of the concept of retracement, surveyors will be much better equipped to help steer their clients (and their affected neighbors) away from the pain and cost of litigation, and towards an amicable solution based on well-placed confidence and understanding of their respective roles and responsibilities.
In Part One of this program, we will explore the concepts of retracement, the inviolability of the original survey, how retracement relates to and is dependent on the document of conveyance and the original survey, and how to consider what might control when conflicts and ambiguities are inevitably encountered, with examples to fortify the discussion.
The Art of Retracement Part 2

Every professional surveyor across the United States knows the phrase “Follow in the Footsteps” as it relates to conducting a boundary retracement survey. But what does it really mean and what is the basis for following the footsteps? And exactly whose footsteps are we talking about? What happens when the evidence of the footsteps on the ground conflicts with the written title? What if the written title description is ambiguous? What if there are seemingly no footsteps to follow? When armed with a full understanding of the concept of retracement, surveyors will be much better equipped to help steer their clients (and their affected neighbors) away from the pain and cost of litigation, and towards an amicable solution based on well-placed confidence and understanding of their respective roles and responsibilities.
Part Two will continue with an in-depth look at the types of ambiguities and how surveyors might resolve them, a discussion on dealing with conflicts, a provocative look at ownership and the surveyor, and ending with the examination of a series of court decisions that suggest surveyors might want to broaden their views of what to consider when performing a boundary survey.
