2. [DMU] Surveyor name [1]
When entering the plat description data in Deed Mapper, where is the best place to enter the name of the surveyor? There doesn't seem to be a specific code for this. Lee Adair
3. [DMU] No road indicated on plat [1]
I would like to hear some thoughts and ideas on this question.... I am working with some SC plats for the original colonial and state land grants. A 1758 plat shows a road (now a federal highway) and the same road is shown on a 1789 plat. On a plat surveyed in 1787 that I think fits between the previously mentioned plats, there is no road indicated. How much significance should I give to the fact that the road is not indicated on the 1787 plat....the plat shapes and adjacent neighbors seem to match up f

5. Re: [DMU] Have you seen this term in your deeds? [1]
My own suspicion on this is the source may have been (or meant) "backstraddle", rather than "buckstraddle". This at least places it in the zone of "straddleback", which could easily have been a variant on "saddleback". [OED straddle (II.6b) = saddle.] [Also note, under OED III.8, "straddleback", but with no topographic meaning (rather, "with the legs astraddle").] The suggestion below to check the terrain would, of course, likely offer strengthening evidence that a saddleback ridge was intended. But
6. [DMU] Old Road Bed [1]
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jolee/Untitled.gif I have scanned and temporarily uploaded to the above site a plat that I very much need to enter into my DeedMapper file. I do not have text to the plat. I have before deedmapped the old plat of this tract of land (& more) but I need very much to locate this "Old Road Bed" today on a map. The plat is Virginia about 1960, but I don't know how to determine the distance unit. I started entering the old road bed, beginning lower left and going
7. [DMU] Have you seen this term in your deeds? [1]
You never know what you'll come across in a deed! We got a query today from a fellow do research in Massachusetts (timeframe not given). One of the property corners was given as a "buckstraddle" and he's trying to figure out what it is. I discovered that straddling a deer is one of the steps of dressing it (straddling the body as you make a long slice along the belly). Straddle is also used to describe the distance between the right and left hoof prints of a deer (or presumably other animals). In any c

9. [DMU] South Carolina mapping [1]
In _Cadastral Surveying in Colonial South Carolina: A Historical Georgraphy_ by Linda Marie Pett-Conklin (Ph.D. Thesis 1986, Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College) at 18, 19: the author remarks, "Because plats normally contain little reference to physical features that can be identified on the contemporary landscape, it would be difficult to 'field check' the accuracy of colonial surveys." The footnote explains, "This has been done on a small scale by M. Elmer Parker, a resear

It fits perfectly with the present road, etc. Thanks ever so much. I just used feet & entered all backwards and it ended upright!

11. Re: [DMU] Have you seen this term in your deeds? [1]
Not in OED, nor in the "A to Zax" dictionary. OED does have a meaning for buck which might have a topological analog. A buck is a working framework (like a sawhorse) in which two crotch members are joined by an axis (and presumably the thing has legs like a sawhorse). Maybe a "buckstraddle" is a kind of saddlepoint ridge in the terrain. Does that fit with the context? ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Broyles To: Sent: Sunday, June 03, 2001

Greg, This has happened to me on occasion(GDI Error). Usually I can remedy the situation by rebooting my computer.

14. [DMU] GDI error [1]
Hi, mappers... I have a composite digital map that I have downloaded and stitched together as a big JPG and am using as the background on some of my DM files. Just now I was using one file and switched to another which doesn't have one of these USGS backgrounds. When I went back to the first file, I got the following error when I switched to the plot view: GDI Error in Image Display Anybody know what this means? And how to remedy the situation? Thanks in advance Peace, Part of the Tree, Greg
