This site was created to provide survey data to all surveyors who work in Waushara County.

It will always be under construction, and more data will be added as available.

Our complete list of State Plane Coordinates Here I have prepared a list of State Plane Coordinates on the Section Corner and 1/4 Corner monuments throughout Waushara County. As our GPS Project continues, I will be adding the coordinates each year until fully completed. For now, we are concentrating on the Monuments within road rights-of-way, and will densify our network once completed with these.

For point reference numbers, please click on the Township in which you are working.

Our Own High Accuracy Reference Network Here I have prepared a list of Waushara County Control Points Geographic Position Values. Soon I will be making available on this site, dosier sheets for the monuments themselves. Until then, the sheets are available at the County Surveyor's office at the courthouse in Wautoma, or at my Redgranite office.......Also, Surveyors need to be aware that the Townships of Leon, Saxeville and Richford have now adopted their comprehensive Land Use Plans and they require Township approval for ALL Land divisions in those townships prior to submitting to the zoning office. Remember to check out the meeting dates and times I have provided below, and remind your clients to allow ample time for such approvals......Mike
