Surveying or land surveying is the technique, profession and science of accurately determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional position of points and the distances and angles between them. These points are usually on the surface of the Earth, and they are often used to establish land maps and boundaries for ownership or governmental purposes.
American Land Title Association (ALTA) & American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM) surveys are a more detailed survey of the subject property to be acceptable to a title insurance company for the purpose of insuring title to subject property. Requirements have been created by the association to prepare a survey following certain criteria with optional survey requirements and specifications chosen by the client from “Table A”.

People or organizations with an easement have the right to access and use your property in specific situations for limited purposes. A right of way is a type of easement which allows one to use a pathway or road on someone else's property without becoming the property owner.
Right-of-way easements are very common. It is especially true in rural areas where people often own vast tracts of land. It is sometimes necessary to pass over someone else's land in order to reach your property. In such circumstances, a right of way easement may be necessary.
When the County "vacates" or "removes public interest from" a County right-of-way (or easement), and it is relinquished to an adjoining property, a Right-of-Way Vacation is required. An ordinance is adopted by the county (through the County Council) if the right-of-way is deemed unusable for transportation purposes and is determined to be beneficial to the public. The ordinance is considered by the County Council at a public hearing.
