What Shapes an Emery County Survey?
Pioneer town blocks, irrigated farms, energy country and open desert.
- Town blocks. Castle Dale, Huntington, Ferron and Orangeville were laid out in large blocks. After a century of splits, fences and deeds rarely match the plat exactly.
- Section-line country. Ranch and energy tracts are described by section and aliquot part, often across many sections. Recovering original corners is the first job, as on our 2026 ALTA surveys near Emery.
- Irrigation and creeks. Huntington, Cottonwood and Ferron creeks feed canals and ditches across valley parcels. Easements need surveyed descriptions.
- Energy and utilities. Power plants, mines and transmission corridors cross the county. Lenders on these properties usually want ALTA/NSPS surveys.
- Distance. We plan Emery fieldwork as single trips where possible and show travel as its own line on the quote.

Yes. Castle Dale is about an hour and three quarters from our Nephi office. In 2026 we completed two multi-section ALTA/NSPS surveys near Emery, and our engineer has served as engineer of record on public facilities in Castle Dale.
How long does a survey take in Emery County?
Most boundary surveys take one to three weeks, topographic surveys one to four weeks, and ALTA surveys three to six weeks. Large tracts with section-corner recovery take longer; we plan the fieldwork as one trip where we can.
Is my survey filed with Emery County?
Yes. Utah law requires a boundary survey map to be filed with the county surveyor within 90 days of establishing or re-establishing a boundary (Utah Code § 17-73-504). For Emery County that's in Castle Dale, the county seat.
Can you survey large ranch or energy tracts?
Yes. Our 2026 ALTA surveys near Emery each covered four or more sections. On tracts like these, recovering the original section corners is the first and largest part of the job.
Do you have a page for my town?
Yes, for Castle Dale, Huntington, Ferron, Orangeville, Green River, Lawrence and Woodside. They're linked in the areas section above.
