On a land appraisal what would this mean 419+37.26?

my land was surveyed and on the written part of it says "25 ft right of centerline station 419+93.42". What do these numbers mean?Then i have like a map or a sky veiw of my propery and these numbers appear all over it, in the same format 419+10.08, 419+75.00 and so on. Then there are numbers with degree signs in them and the discription says radius of 699.07 ft? I am so lost, appreciate the help

On a land appraisal what would this mean 419+37.26?
That is a station number. Not a grid coordinate or latitude or longitude.





It represents a point 41,937.26 feet from the POB (point of beginning).





The size of the number and the 25 foot offset, leads me to believe that the traverse line the stations you list are on is probably the survey for the centerline of a road.





the 699.07 radius sounds like a nominal 700' radius curve in the road. It should have a delta angle listed with it along with other curve data.





Talk to your county surveyor, he can show you how it fits into his data.
Reply:You are reading the legal description for the property, or a transcription thereof. The land you are interested in abuts a highway right of way or other road. The station call is the distance from the start of the road project, station 0+00.00. To find 25 feet right of station 419+93.42, you would travel the centerline of the road from 0+00.00 41,993.42 feet going toward station 100+00.00, and then go 25 feet to your right.





Usually you can find one or more monuments for the road right of way. Two are required to give you the proper direction, and from there you can find your point.





On the plat, the station markers will show the critical points of the road - beginning of curves, changes in radius length, and end of curves. At straight areas in the road, the stations will be marked in even increments.





The degree signs designate how much of a full circle the curve represents. 360 degrees is a full circle, of course, so a 127 degree curve is somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 of a circle.





699.07 feet is the radius of the road curve. This allows the road to be recreated, for purposes like yours. A land surveyor can take the information you have and with a little work mark the exact corners of the parcel of land you are looking at.





If you are purchasing or selling a parcel, you may want to consider getting it surveyed. It is required in some states and optional in others, but is a good practice always because a survey makes sure that everyone knows where all the boundaries are and that there aren't problems with fences and roads.
Reply:they are grid coordinates. latitude and longitude. probably taken from a plat book for an exact location of the property
