It is very important for a land surveyor to locate a document, survey, or by-law that originally establishes a road. This is because the establishment of a road can have significant implications for property boundaries, access rights, and land ownership. By identifying the original document, survey, or by-law that establishes a road, a land surveyor can accurately determine the extent of the road and its impact on surrounding properties. This information is crucial for resolving any disputes or legal issues related to property boundaries, easements, or rights of way. Without the proper documentation, there may be confusion and uncertainty over the existence, location, and rights associated with a road, leading to potential conflicts and legal complications.
