19. thE piNCUShiON EffECt - PART I
Jeff Lucas, Attorney at Law, Professional Land Surveyor, Birmingham, Ala.
2.0 PDHs, Category 1 or 3
The “pincushion” corner is the name that has commonly been assigned to the
phenomenon of multiple monuments that have been placed in the vicinity of a
single land boundary or property corner. The pincushion corner is the bane of
the land surveying profession because it represents the physical manifestation
of the land surveyor’s collective confusion over his or her duties and
responsibilities toward property boundaries. Within the context of the land
surveyor’s duties and responsibilities toward boundaries, there is no reason for
multiple monuments to exist when only one corner is contemplated under the
law. This seminar explores the phenomena of the pincushion corner and the
dilemma it creates for the land surveying profession. The surprising causes
of the pincushion corner will be discussed and ways to avoid starting a new
pincushion or adding to an existing one will be explored.
