SURV 345 - Cadastral Surveying

Course Description:
This course introduces the law and practice of land surveying in Western Canada. Land ownership, land registration systems and the documents registered against parcels of land are studied to provide a basis for locating land, determining boundaries and identifying any restrictions to the use of land. The DLS/ATS system of survey provides the foundation for subdivision of both public and private lands and is used to determine the positions of boundaries and improvements in rural and undeveloped areas. Best practices for boundary determination are applied to subdivision and real property surveys in urban areas and to wellsite and right of way surveys in rural and undeveloped areas. In addition to the study of artificial boundaries, the physical identification and legal context for natural boundaries is also explored.
