Surveying in DeSoto County
DeSoto County is a rural agricultural county centered on the Peace River, which runs north-to-south through the heart of the county. Riverfront property surveys must account for the Peace River's floodplain, which can extend well beyond the normal channel during heavy rain events.
The county's economy has historically centered on citrus, cattle, and more recently solar energy. Large solar farm installations on former agricultural land require extensive boundary and topographic surveys for site development.
Arcadia's historic downtown features properties with legal descriptions dating to the original town plat from the 1880s, and surveying in the older sections often requires research through multiple generations of deed transfers.
