  18. Role of the Surveyor • A boundary is a closed geometric figure. This allows an entity to claim rights within this boundary. Monuments are frequently used to identify the corners as evidence of the boundary. • Once a surveyor has created a boundary, it remains in perpetuity (changes may be made in the future). This boundary separates the rights to be claimed by two entities. • Once created, another surveyor attempts to reconstruct the intent and location of the boundaries. The later surveyor, after consideration, gives his/her OPINION of the location of the boundaries. • In the USA, only courts have the authority to determine specifically the location of retraced boundary lines.
