Taking a shot: Using the total station and prism to locate a feature.
Station or Traverse Point: A reference point set by a surveyor that the total station is set over while locating features. Usually set near a boundary but not necessarily on the line. Small spikes placed in the ground are often used as stations.

Blaze: A mark cut into a tree to evidence a boundary line. 3 principle types being a “full” blaze, when a boundary passes through the tree, a “1/4 blaze”, when the line passes within the length of an axe head to the tree, and a “face blaze”, when the line passes within the length of an axe handle from the tree.
Witness Tree: A tree usually marked with three blazes on the side facing a boundary corner, usually more than one witness tree is found at a corner so marked.

About Me
I am a 10th generation Maine native, born and brought up in western Maine. I graduated from the University of Maine with a degree in soil and water conservation.
I began my surveying career in 1976 as a member of the original survey crew of Main-Land Development Consultants of Livermore Falls. This position allowed me to advance my knowledge and experience in land surveying by working alongside other land surveyors and engineers on a wide range of projects all over Maine.
I obtained my Maine Professional Land Surveyors license in 1984. Other than working in Arizona for three years and obtaining a surveyors license there, I have spent my entire career surveying in the State of Maine.
In 2012 I started my own surveying firm where I find I can devote more time to each job and provide quality service at a lower cost to my clients.
