"Henry David Thoreau as a Surveyor: The Myth Versus the Reality"
This trade paperback is 194 pages and features 82 illustrations. Author David Garcelon, PLS, has been a land surveyor for more than 55 years and surveyed the Concord, Mass. area for a decade, including properties that had been surveyed by Thoreau. He found that the quality of Thoreau's survey work didn't match what had been written about it, but that the real story about Thoreau as a surveyor is much more interesting than the myth. $27.95 plus $4.95 shipping and handling.

Needed: Bathymetric Survey
We are looking for Vermont surveyors who can provide estimates for a bathymetric survey of a dozen water-filled rock quarries at the historic Rock of Ages Barre Granite Quarries. We are looking for a high resolution DEM / contour / or point cloud of the underwater wall and quarry floor features to compliment our above ground mine-survey. Currently, we utilize drone photogrammetry and lidar-derived DEM but neither of those technologies show anything below the water surface.
