Single Proportionate Measurement

In order to restore a lost corner on a line by single proportionate measurement, a retracement is made connecting the nearest identified corners (or control points) on the line. These corners control the position of the lost corner. Control corners are usually corners established in the original survey of the line. The lost corner is then reestablished at proportionate distance on the true line connecting the recovered corners. Proper adjustment is made on an east and west line to secure the latitudinal curve. Any number of intermediate lost corners may be located on the same plan.
