Where in California Is This?
The September "Where in CA is This?” was a pair of photos looking into and out of a cave on the California side of the Colorado River between Parker and Havasu, taken by 2018 CLSA President Ron Nelms. Nobody submitted a guess on the location.
Try to identify the location of this month’s photo. Please tell me how you identified the location. Submit your answer or submit your photo of a special location in California to: Rob McMillan. Surveying in the News
Joseph Loyatho passed away last month. Joseph was born July 25, 1949, the second of seven children born to Laurent and Elizabeth Loyatho. Brothers Jean Batiste, Joseph, Bernard, Michel, Francois, Andre and one sister, Maite, all carried the same middle name of Marie, born out of their mother’s devotion to the Blessed Mother. Raised on a dairy farm in Hasparren, Joseph’s brothers and sister were no strangers to hard work. Chapter Secretary Mikey Mueller organized members of the Sonoma County CLSA Chapter to move the historical records of Fred Browne, which were donated to Sonoma County CLSA. They had enough of a volunteer turnout that they were able to load up a 26ft moving van, 3-4 trucks/SUVs and get them all moved and unloaded in three to four hours.
As they get the records sorted and organized they will be able to provide more information about what the collection contains, but as of now they should be able to locate Lyle Everett's maps and Fred Browne's records/maps if you provide an APN to Mikey at MMueller@HoganLS.com. Mueller has located the Adam's map drawers, but no index found yet; fingers crossed! The Lone Star College-Montgomery Student Chapter of the Texas Society of Professional Surveyors (TSPS) hosted a successful Land Surveying and Mapping Technology event on Friday, September 29, 2023, bringing together a diverse group of professionals, industry partners, and students for LSC-Montgomery’s first ever "An Evening with the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors.”

These include boundary by acquiescence, prescriptive easements, property use, adverse possession and quiet title claims that have arisen in the past few years in Iowa. Follow the link for more.
