The land survey plat is a map of the monumented land survey, which is deposited in the public office designated by the county commissioners. One of the purposes of recording this information is to provide survey data for subsequent land surveys. It also makes the results of the monumented land survey a matter of public record, which may help to protect your interests in the property
The land survey plat includes several items as set forth in the Colorado Revised Statutes 38-51-106. These items include a scale drawing of the boundaries of the parcel, all dimensions necessary to establish the boundary in the field, a description of all monuments - both found and set- which mark the boundaries of the property, a description of all control monuments used in conducting the survey, a basis of the bearings used, and any conflicting boundary evidence. The land survey plat will also include a statement by the surveyor that the survey was performed either by him or under his direct responsibility, supervision, and checking.
