Utah surveyors file corner perpetuation records with the county surveyor when monumenting or restoring PLSS corners. A corner perpetuation record describes the monument, accessories, and tie distances.
Filing Requirements
When a public-land corner is set, found, or restored, the surveyor files a corner perpetuation record with the county surveyor describing the monument, accessories, and ties.
County Surveyor
No statewide form published — filed on surveyor-prepared documents to the statutory content standard.
Street View Coverage
Of the 2,502 PLSS townships in Utah, 1,550 (62%) 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.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total PLSS townships | 2,502 |
| Townships with Street View | 1,550 |
| Coverage rate | 62% |
| Capture depth | Up to 20 years of history |
Corner-Plot Workflow
Upload a Utah 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.
