Surveyors to Fix Border between North and South Carolina
With heavy mechanical instruments, surveyors laid out the border between North and South Carolina several hundred years ago. Vast sections of the border went through thick forests or open farm fields. Hence, at the time, it made sense to mark the border with notches in trees made with hatchets and the occasional rock pile. Since that time of course, those trees and even many of the rocks are no longer there.
Not knowing the exact location of the border wasn’t an issue for a long time; the area between the Carolinas was prodominantly rural. But now, with sharp increases in development, the states and property owners need to know; where exactly is the border?

How to Distinguish Your Property Line
The ability to determine the boundaries of a property is very useful, particularly for homeowners and developers who are planning to improve and expand their structures.
Finding these property lines is important for those who want to defend their homes from boundary encroachments and homeowners should also know their exact location in order to maintain the complete value of their property.
Boundaries, Improvements, and Peace of Mind
Building is a high-cost investment that has the potential for a great return. However, along with the risks associated with such an investment, issues with the boundary of a property or it’s zoning or deed restrictions are known to cause headaches. Property disputes and unauthorized improvements are an expense that no one wants to bear.
When facing unauthorized improvements and boundary disputes, you require a surveyor’s assistance. The best time to seek this assistance is before you build as to resolve and prevent any issues curtailing the building itself and its profit at completion.
Boundaries
Boundary surveying confirms boundaries of your piece beforehand. Though existing features on your land may convey a boundary (for example, fences or a line of trees), the actual boundary can be quite different. If land is developed based on an assumed boundary, town or city officials will require you to remove the feature at fault or apply for a variance to clear up the issue.
