““ ‘When the retracement show that the principal resurvey problem is one of obliteration, with comparative absence ■of large discrepancies, i. e. — that the ■early survey had been made faithfully, then that official survey can be reconstructed or restored as it was in the beginning; the methods applied are termed a ‘dependent resurvey.’ “ ‘The dependent resurvey is designed to accomplish a restoration of what purports to be the original conditions according to the record, based, first, upon identified existing corners of the .original survey and other recognized and acceptable points of control, and, .second, upon the restoration of missing ■corners by proportionate measurement in harmony with the record of the •original survey. This scope of resurvey is applicable to those cases showing fairly concordant situations between ■conditions on the ground and the record ■of the original survey. Title, areas, .and descriptions should remain absolutely unchanged in the typical dependent resurvey.’ ” 1”
