Although the State of Oklahoma provides the foundation for each of the 77 counties to operate, the manner in which records are stored and retrieved vary immensely. Regrettably, many County and City Engineers do not consider the maintenance of land surveying records to be a high priority. Consequently, it can be a very trying experience locating and researching valuable land surveying records.
In many instances, private land surveyor records, maintained by private firms may provide the best evidence as to the historic and correct location of critical land surveying monuments.
When working in a new county or neighborhood, it is recommended that you contact local surveyor(s) familiar with the area. It is not uncommon to learn that there are certain Land Surveyors who specialize in select neighborhoods or cities within each county. For example, in the County of Tulsa , neighborhoods that Gary Breisch works in the most such as Sand Springs, Sapulpa North, Mannford East, Catoosa, Owasso, Broken Arrow, Bixby, and Jenks to name a few each require unique and special knowledge of local surveying problems as well as the location and repository of land surveying records. In nearby Osage & Pawnee Counties, due to the absence of a solid land records base, private survey notes may provide the best available evidence as to the location of subdivision boundaries, right of way lines, and historic control monuments. Anyone working in these areas are advised to extend their research to include private survey records.
The various counties are hyper-linked to expedite your research efforts. Gary has developed County Research Tips information sites for your convenience. If you need assistance in your research efforts, feel free to contact us at gbreisch@gmail.com
