Range Guide survey monuments are landmark monuments, e.g., cut in stone or metals, fixed into the ground for "private control" traverse points and Range Guide Survey Grids. Their perfect for creating landmarks within ones' own boundaries for survey control and may also be confirmed by networking private property landmarks into the grid. This method may avoid controversy and may reduce costs associated with redundant and costly perimeter surveying.
The monumentation device dubbed "Range Guide" is a well-placed traverse point monument. "Range Guide" also describes its surveying control function. It is also a very unique, custom-designed monument unlike anything you've seen, and certain "Range Guides" may have 360 degree mirrors and GPS devices in them that will save time and money for surveying crews (not to mention the owner). Typically, surveyors set their survey instrument upon a traverse point and "shoot" the rodman's location. The rodman follows the perimeter back to the beginning. The instrument tech may have to follow the rodman around the perimeter in case the rodman cannot be seen by the instrument tech using laser instruments [GPS eliminates "line-of-site" surveys]. Nevertheless, calculations are made so that the perimeter is followed point-to-point back to the beginning measuring "point A to point B, point B to point C and so forth. Normally, the instrument tech uses some [often unreliable] point in the middle of a road or some other point [usually off the property under survey] as control in an attempt to reference where the property is. State markers are often difficult to find and often never monumented in the first place. Therefore, the "control" which is critical for determining where the property's boundary exists are usually questionable and off of the property under survey. When they're off of the property surveyed or on the boundary thereof [which allows for disputing the point used for control purposes] the property owner loses private control information that would have otherwise existed had the control been within the boundaries of their own property. This is where private monumentation, like Range Guides on one's own property would be extremely useful for keeping control of the survey and its information. Add the potential of using the Range Guide 360 degree calculating method which is based on points "shot" from the Range Guide(s) within the property and you can see why the Range Guide Survey may eliminate controversial situations. The Range Guide 360 degree method relies on closing the survey calculations by observing if the degrees between points add up to 360 degrees. Two or more Range Guides add extra control to the calculations which confirm calculations.
I've designed this concept to remedy the widespread problem of the lack of proper control monumentation and the controversial dependence on landmarks on the border lines or somewhere outside an owner's possession and control. And so, Range Guide became a new approach that offers superior control monumentation and cross-checking grid networks for added precision. Agreements between land-owners are suggested to avoid redundant and costly surveys and litagations and Range Guides on adjacent properties add to the precision and agreement based thereon.
If your interested in investing in survey projects for your city, county, state, or for your own personal and resaleable mapping information, please contact me. We forsee the need for investing in our nation's future water needs and investors are encouraged to seek our services in this regard. Give me a call at the numbers below [presently in Georgia].
Besides the Range Guide projects, I also prospect, hunt, stone cut, create art-works, write, write and perform music, environmental technology research, herbology, iridology, healing arts research, law research, ancient civilization and history research, heraldic research and heraldic art. And this website is intended to provide a gathering point for the like-minded and for children who love adventure in the out-doors.
If you wish to inquire further about Range Guides or anything else, just click below to email me. Again, we are seeking serious investors to consider our services to locate water and make the mapping information available for our fellow Americans. Our services can also be utilized to find other needed resources.

"The maps are purchased by people from many backgrounds. Some are farmers wanting to know about reserves under their property, exploration companies looking for reserves, investors that attend mineral auctions using their information to purchase mineral interests, drilling companies, geologists and land men who use the maps when leasing.
"The maps produced by the Spurlocks are the center-piece of the Range+Guide Net Work. I'm honored to be associated with them, and I know of no one else in the world capable of producing a more accurate mineral survey map. I could not imagine having better friends.
"The 4S Sat Mapping System is a specialized software program the Spurlock Family uses with their mainframe computer to crunch geophysical data collected from several sources. They digitize the information and run it through a colorization process to produce easy-to-read color-coded maps that show the best possible areas for locating oil, gas and other minerals.
"First, a background source is collected to form a constant base that includes magnetic, gravity, electro and magnotellurics, and radiometrics. After this process, data from low and high altitude flyover studies, satellite studies (including M.S.S., S.L.A.R., B.B.R), spectrographic reflectance, and geophysical data is assembled utilizing the 4S System. Of course, the complete program is a secret that is not for sale." -Elder Hale
