Your local land surveyor in Piñon Hills, Phelan & Wrightwood

We’re based in Piñon Hills, so High Desert jobs don’t carry a long drive — and we know how parcels out here were described and monumented.

SURVEYING THE HIGH DESERT

Acreage out here needs a different kind of survey.

Section-based descriptions

Many parcels are described as fractions of government sections, not lots on a tract map. Locating them starts with finding the original section and quarter corners.

Few corners on the ground

Large, undeveloped parcels often have no visible markers. We search for the original monuments and set new ones where they’re missing.

Big sites, rough terrain

Drone and LiDAR topo cover 10, 20 or 80 acres in a fraction of the field time — useful for grading, wells, pads and access roads.
