Services
Benchmark - A survey mark made on a monument having a known location and elevation, serving as a reference point for surveying.
Chain carrier - An assistant to the surveyor, the chain carriers moved the surveying chain from one location to another under the direction of the surveyor.
This was a position of some responsibility, and the chain carriers took an oath as "sworn chain carriers" that they would do their job properly.
Declination - The difference between magnetic north and geographic (true) north.

The commonest mistake made by home buyers is not having a survey done prior to purchasing a property.
Why is this a mistake?
Without an ALTA (American Land Title Association) survey you have no recourse if at a later date it is found that your fences encroach on a neighbor's land or that there are rights to easement by one of the service companies (this means that an electric, sewerage or water company has access rights to your property to carry out maintenance and repair).
Consider the examples where a property owner has built a garage over part of the access rights and these service companies have then been known to remove the garage to carry out maintenance.
