To accurately survey your land, it is essential to hire a licensed land surveyor who will undertake a topographical survey. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), a topographical survey involves creating a detailed map of the land’s topography, including its natural and man-made features.
Once the survey is completed, it is crucial to highlight the boundary of your land on a site plan or using Google MyMaps. A site plan is a detailed map that shows the layout of your property, including its boundaries, easements, and any other relevant features.
