Looking for a land surveyor in Price, UT? Ludlow Engineering and Associates has surveyed central and eastern Utah since 1975, and Carbon County is squarely in our territory. As the county seat and commercial hub of Castle Country, Price mixes city lots, commercial and institutional property, coal and energy sites, and rural ground — and each needs a surveyor who works from Carbon County records and understands the area’s mining-claim and homestead history. Whether it’s a boundary survey, a topographic survey for a build, an ALTA survey for a commercial closing, or drone mapping for an energy or industrial site, you get licensed Utah surveyors and stamped, defensible work. Call (435) 623-0897 or request a quote.
Price-area parcels can involve patented mining claims, coal-era descriptions, and older railroad and homestead geometry that generic firms have to untangle from scratch. We already work from the Carbon County Recorder in Price and tie our work to the section framework the area was laid out on. Send your address and we’ll return a fixed fee. Get started →

What We Know About Surveying in Carbon County
Price sits in the Price River valley, tucked below the Book Cliffs with the Wasatch Plateau rising to the west — the commercial center of Utah’s historic coal country. That history and setting shape the survey work here:
- Carbon County records — deeds, plats, and prior surveys are researched through the Carbon County Recorder in Price; we work from those records routinely.
- Mining claims & coal-era descriptions — patented mining claims and old coal-camp parcels create irregular, senior-rights boundary geometry that takes genuine retracement, not a simple plat lookup.
- Railroad & industrial corridors — Price and Helper grew up on the rail line, and surveys here often border rail right-of-way, utility, and industrial land.
- Price River & irrigation — agricultural ground along the river carries irrigation ditches and water-conveyance features that boundary and topographic work must account for.
- Book Cliffs & plateau terrain — ground ranges from the ~5,500′ valley floor up onto benches, plateau, and the broken country toward Nine Mile Canyon, so topographic and drainage detail matters.

Price Land Surveying FAQ
Do you actually serve Price and Carbon County?
Yes. We’re based in Nephi and central-eastern Utah is core territory — Carbon County, along with neighboring Emery, Sanpete, and Sevier counties. We work from Carbon County records regularly and mobilize crews to Price and the surrounding towns. Travel is disclosed as a line item in the quote.
Which county records do you work from?
For Price-area parcels we research the Carbon County Recorder in Price — deeds, recorded plats, adjoining records, and prior surveys — and tie the work to Salt Lake Base & Meridian section corners.
Can you handle mining-claim, coal-era, and older parcels?
Yes — that’s a defining part of Carbon County work. Patented mining claims, coal-camp parcels, and homestead-era descriptions create irregular, senior-rights boundary geometry that requires real retracement and professional analysis, not just a plat lookup.
Can you handle energy, industrial, and rail-corridor sites?
Yes. For coal and energy operations, industrial facilities, and rail or utility corridors, drone surveying delivers fast volumetrics and mapping; for boundary and control work we use ground crews. We handle the mix in-house.
What does a survey cost and how long does it take?
It depends on parcel size, terrain, and how much records research the parcel needs — mining-claim and older descriptions add research time. See our Utah survey cost guide for planning ranges; every Price job is quoted fixed-fee in writing with a timeline before we start.
Do you do boundary, topo, ALTA, and civil engineering all in-house?
Yes. Boundary, topographic, ALTA, drone, as-built, and subdivision surveying, plus full civil engineering — one firm, so the survey and the design that uses it stay coordinated.
