  • History of Land Surveying in South Dakota Can Hardly Be Addressed Without Some Review of the Events Prior to the Establishment of Dakota Territory
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF LAND SURVEYS IN SOUTH DAKOTA Prepared by Robert S. Fodness, P.E., L.S. Prepared for South Dakota State Board of Technical Professions 2525 W. Main St., Suite 211 Rapid City, SD 57702 JANUARY 1994 INTRODUCTION The following historical account of Land Surveying in our state is intended to help educate the young developing surveyors, give a sense of where, when and how to aid the present practitioners in their retracements and to help non-resident registrants gain knowledge of the past in areas they may someday be asked to practice. The topic is treated in a broad sense in order to acquaint the practitioner with the beginnings of the survey systems within in our state. Time and resources do not permit expansion into more local accounts nor into the intervening types of practice that have been performed to date. It falls to each practitioner to become familiar with the history within his or her area of work. As such, we become historians, whether we retrace last year's monuments or those set over a hundred years ago. The commission wishes to thank Bob Fodness, P.E., L.S., for the research and preparation of this paper. In keeping with the scope and intent, much material had to be set aside for, perhaps, more detailed accounts in future publications. The commission would also like to thank the several authors who gave their permission to use their material. Editorial Note. Since the time when this paper was written in 1994, the name of the South Dakota State Commission of Engineering, Architectural and Land Surveying Examiners has been changed to the South Dakota Board of Technical Professions.

Patrick, Chief of the Air Service, U.S. Army, by Capt. A. W. Stevens, U.S. Air Service. ESCRIPTION of the Curtiss Sea-gull Hydroplane.—Biplane, pusher D type; engine: Curtiss C-6, 160 h.p., 6 cylinder; ignition: Splitdorf magnetos; gasoline system: air pressure, 5 lbs. normal; capacity of tank : 42 gallons ; gasoline consumption per hour, cruising, 11 to 12 gallons. Maximum time actually covered on one flight was 31 hours, with 5 gallons remaining in tank at end of flight. Speed of plane, about 70 land miles an hour. Capacity, three persons, including pilot. Only two persons were carried, however; the weight of one person was carried in camera, food and supplies. Wings and control surfaces were covered with aluminium dope. This resisted the action of the sun’s rays very successfully, and the fabric retained its life and did not become inert even with nine months of constant exposure to tropical rains and sunlight.
