New Mexico's Minimum Standards for Surveying require corner documentation. PLSS corner evidence and tie measurements are shown on survey plats filed with the county clerk to meet the Board's Minimum Standards.
Filing Requirements
Public-land corner ties and accessories are documented to the Board's Minimum Standards and shown on survey plats recorded with the county clerk.

No statewide form published — filed on surveyor-prepared documents to the statutory content standard.
Street View Coverage
Of the 3,307 PLSS townships in New Mexico, 2,196 (66.4%) contain usable Google Street View imagery — meaning a surveyor can pull up the road camera view of a monument before ever leaving the office. Coverage skews toward roads and populated areas; monuments in remote rural sections are less likely to have a nearby capture.

|---|---|
| Total PLSS townships | 3,307 |
| Townships with Street View | 2,196 |
| Coverage rate | 66.4% |
| Capture depth | Up to 20 years of history |
Corner-Plot Workflow
Upload a New Mexico Corner Record PDF. Corner-Plot reads the form with OCR — extracting the surveyor name, township-range-section, monument description, and every bearing and distance tie. The corner is geo-located automatically across the PLSS grid, assigning a GCDB-standard 21-character Point ID and a confidence rating of High, Medium, or Low.
When the monument sits at or near a roadway, Corner-Plot brings up Google Street View with its full capture history — up to 20 years. AI analyzes each date and returns a structured monument-condition verdict. A printable field prep report covers the resolved coordinate, aerial tie overlay, monument classification history, and original GLO field notes.
