Surveys may be performed to locate which of the following: property corners, boundary lines, rights-of-way and easements.

Surveys are about identifying the real-world boundaries and interests that affect a parcel of land. Locating property corners provides the reference points that define where ownership begins and ends. Connecting those corners defines boundary lines, which precisely show the limits of one parcel relative to adjacent parcels. In addition, rights-of-way and easements are legal interests that grant third-party access or use of parts of the land, and they must be located on the ground so you know where they run and how they affect access, use, or construction. Because all of these elements—corners, boundaries, and any rights or easements—shape what you can do with the property, surveys are performed to locate them all. Options suggesting surveys are limited to measuring area and volume, or restricted to topographic mapping, or only to property corners, don’t capture the full scope of surveying practice. While those tasks can be part of surveying, the essential purpose in land surveying is to establish and record the actual boundaries and interests on the land, including corners, boundaries, and any rights-of-way or easements.
