How do surveyors determine where a property line is at when they get to a new property? Do they just use landmarks like trees and drive ways to determine the property line? What’s the difference between me taking a few wooden stakes and orange flags and just saying that’s my property line opposed to an official surveyor?
I imagine there is a process they go through to determine the exact measurements of the property but what is it?

The surveyor has something called a “plat” or “cadastral map” that shows exactly where all the property lines are. He uses that map to determine where the lines are on the actual ground, and mark them.
