I think I can figure out once they have a reference point, how they could super accurately measure everything from there. But often times property disputes seem to come down to a matter of inches.
How does a surveyor know *this* spot is for sure correct and I can base the rest of the measurements on it? It seems like tiny errors over many plots of land could add up to being off by several feet.

In what you’re describing, you’re trying to make a whole pie from slices of pie with all the little crumbs and cuts along the edges butting up against each other; it’s messy. Surveyors bake pies and then precisely slice them up; they seek to know the “whole” and are then able to precisely determine the “parts”. Surveyors won’t start at your rear lot line to measure the block. They’ll measure the block and then determine where your lot line is in relation to the block.
