- Internet Explorer 4.01 (service pack 2) or higher*
Network Recommendations: After each point is entered, the drawing is refreshed to reflect the new data.

BENEFITS AND USE
A picture is worth a thousand words!
This software was designed not to replace a survey, but to help the user analyze deed descriptions, which can be very cryptic to the untrained eye, and very beneficial to users in a variety of different professions, including title companies, real estate attorneys, assessors offices, appraisers, real estate professionals, property managers, and engineers. The program will provide a drawing of the deed lines based on this description so the user can easily gather needed information. Some of the features and benefits are listed below.
- The drawing lets you visualize the tract more clearly.
- The drawing provides the length of individual lines.
- The drawing provides the acreage for the tract.
- The drawing shows you the closing distance for the tract.
- The software allows users to zoom in and out to see possible problems or smaller areas more clearly.
- The drawings can be printed out.
- The software can handle a variety of curves.
- A data box with all used points is shown on the final drawing when printed.
- The points can be edited later to correct problems, without starting over.
INSTRUCTIONS
This program is designed for non-surveyors. The majority of our users have no experience or training in surveying, engineering, or the plotting of deeds.
Gather up a few sample deeds, and try out our new software - U.S. Surveyor Deed Plot! If you cannot find one, deed descriptions are readily available at most county courthouses, so head there and get a few samples. For the purpose of this example, we will be using the following deed description:
Beginning at a point thence North 09 degrees 18 minutes 07 seconds west 254.67 feet; thence North 68 degrees 09 minutes 48 seconds East 95.80 feet; thence along a curve to the right with a length of 285.22 feet, having a radius of 500.00 feet; thence South 79 degrees 09 minutes 10 seconds East 216.34 feet; thence South 30 degrees 51 minutes 47 seconds West 245.86 feet; thence South 81 degrees 27 minutes 53 seconds West 418.91 feet to the place of beginning.
STEP 1: The first thing you will need to do is register as a user. Click the register button below and fill out the necessary information. When you submit the info, an account is created for you, and a confirmation e-mail is sent to the address you have provided. This e-mail will contain your password. After you receive this password, come back to this page and enter the information into the boxes below and press the "login" button. STEP 2: After logging in, you should see the screen shown on the right (top picture). This screen allows you to see your list of previously created drawings, or start a new one. To start a new drawing, enter a description for it in the box provided and click the "Next" button. If you would like to edit, view, or print a previous drawing, select it by clicking on the ID corresponding to your chosen drawing from the list at the bottom.
STEP 3: For instructional purposes, we'll assume that you've decided to create a new drawing in the previous step, by entering a description for it, and then pressing the "Next" button. If you have done so, you would be taken to a screen that allows you to enter points and view your drawing.
STEP 4: Now you will begin entering your points based on the deed description listed above. The first line is entered from the sentence "Beginning at a point thence North 09 degrees 18 minutes 07 seconds west 254.67 feet;". Deed descriptions can have many different styles, but the one listed above is written in a relatively common form. The quadrant is selected based on the directions listed around the degrees, minutes, and seconds (NE = 1, SE = 2, SW = 3, NW = 4). For this line, the quadrant will be NW. After you select NW from the drop down list, enter the rest of the information for the line and click submit. The page will then refresh and you will see your point listed below in the list, as well as a single line drawn to the right in the box. It should now look like the image shown below.
Continue entering in your points from the deed description until you have a completed drawing. Once complete the drawing should look like the completed image shown here. You can now print your drawing or zoom in or out using the zoom links above the drawing. Points in your list can also be edited by clicking "edit" next to your point.
We hope you've enjoyed using this software and found the results helpful. Some deed descriptions may not be plottable using this program, and may result in errors. If this occurs, please contact U.S. Surveyor using the contact link above.
