Welcome to a partnership between the Missouri Mappers Association and GeoVelo where we are developing a uniform manual of procedures and resources for every Missouri government cadastral mapper
Thank you!
I am grateful the Missouri Mappers Association who have asked me back for the third year in a row to teach another set of classes at their 2019 annual conference. This page is the resource companion to the six hour course. Please note it will be updated frequently.
Course Background
I had a conversation with MMA President Sue Ann Stokes about 6 months ago. We thought it would be a great idea to develop a uniform manual of procedures and resources which would benefit every government cadastral mapper working in Missouri. Then, we’d thought we could use that manual to teach an introductory and advanced Deed to Map Course at every annual Missouri Mappers Association Conference. Right now the plan is for the www.GeoVelo.com web page to host the draft document while it is under development. Once it is approved by the MMA Executive Committee we plan to host it on the MMA website.
Course Description
From Deed to Parcel Map – Part 1 & 2: This set of two 3-hour workshops will take you through a brief history of cadastral mapping from pen & ink to GIS. You will gain a better understanding of “Deed to Parcel Map” and “Property Boundary Conflicts & Chain of Title”. When did parcel mapping start? Why are the property lines drawn there? How accurate do parcel maps have to be? No matter what mapping program you’re using it’s important to know how to make the transfer from “Description to Map”. What if there’s an overlap? What if the description doesn’t close? What are the rules or standards of Cadastral Mapping? Are there any Missouri Statutes to follow? This will be a Q & A workshop as well so have your questions ready.

Here are the resources I mentioned in class. Check here often as new items will be added regularly. You may want to subscribe to GeoDicta to keep current.
