City of Rhinelander salutes Wisconsin's surveyors
In addition to determining boundaries, today's surveyors continue to play an essential role in the design of all infrastructure, including roads, bridges, utilities and site development.
The city of Rhinelander has joined the nation in recognizing the value of this profession by proclaiming March 15 to 21, 2015 National Surveyors Week in the city of Rhinelander.
Rhinelander Mayor Richard Johns presented the proclamation to Ted Sommer, PLS, president of the Northern Lakes Chapter of Wisconsin Society of Land Surveyors (WSLS), at the March 11 meeting of the chapter.
Today's surveyors utilize sophisticated technology to perform accurate measurements, research records, reduce data and prepare maps and plans that show the results of the survey.
"Surveyors are like detectives who analyze evidence, diplomats who resolve differences between arguing neighbors, experts in translating regulations and legal documents, and a security to land owners by providing protection to their property, their rights and their investment," WSLS President Jeff DeMuth said. "On top of all that, we're very good at measuring."
The city's proclamation recognizes professional land surveyors, and the important work they do for our communities and state. Citizens of Rhinelander are encouraged to reflect on the historical contributions of surveying and the new technologies that are constantly modernizing this honored profession.
