👉 Sheriff engineering, also known as sheriff's engineering or sheriff's surveying, is a specialized field focused on the precise measurement and mapping of land, particularly in areas with complex topography or historical significance. It involves using advanced technologies like GPS, LiDAR, and GIS to create detailed topographic maps, assess land use, and support legal and engineering projects such as construction, resource management, and environmental studies. Sheriffs play a crucial role in ensuring accurate land records and facilitating fair property transactions, often working closely with local governments and legal authorities to resolve disputes and plan development projects.
