Re: Land Lot corner positions

I have been working on real estate mapping software for quite some

and survey drawings I've come across use Land Lot corners as an
original point of reference, but in order to combine this information

They are always referenced in a chain of points from other points. If you
are looking at a single parcel, you probably need to back off to a section,
in order to gain any absolute reference.

Or, you can check with the local county, to see if they have geo-referenced
maps online. Once you locate the county web site, you could do a google
search like this one, looking for gis
gis site:lake.ca.us
The maps provided don't have any discernible coordinates, but I can
visualize the parcel map of my property, compared to the same view in
Google Earth or ExpertGPS, and put in a few markers that are close to
the right places. It's not survey quality.
