"From Heaven to Earth" by Wayne Twigg

A brief synopsis of a solution to the 130+ year struggle to define a political boundary line between two groups of future Americans. The court-ordered decision was to trace and mark a 252-mile Line of Geographic Latitude along the surface of the Earth. No one had ever done anything like it successfully...

Spotlight: Richard Collinson

"I started surveying in October, 1971 with Hugh Wilkerson and Associates. Two and a half years later I went to work for J.R. McCrone, Inc. Fifteen years later my associates and I opened Collinson, Oliff and Associates."

International Surveying Competition, November 12-17, 2018 in Northern Virginia
