Another recent post has reference to Bill and Gurdon Wattles. I was raised on Gurdon's work and found Bill's history and background very interesting. It can be found in the
'California Surveyor Vol. 1 Num. 3". Or here, https://www.californiasurveyors.org/cal ... LSURV3.pdf

Wrote some great guidelines that more need to follow today.

Colorado School of Mines must have been quite the school in those days as Stephen Bradford, engr/surveyor in Placentia CA went there. There is a Bradford Ave in Placentia.
