1. The county surveyor shall: (a) Keep a correct and fair record of all surveys made by him or her in his or her

in the form of original field notes in field books to be provided by the county for

that purpose. (b) Number such surveys progressively. (c) Make and preserve a fair and accurate record map of each survey, drawn in waterproof

proper number and his or her official certificate of survey. (d) Obtain maps of mining claims, mill sites and tunnel rights recorded with the county

recorder and prepare a county mining claim map which must accurately reflect the location

of all such claims. A county surveyor shall not refuse to accept a map submitted by the locator of the

reflect the location of all of the claims. 2. All records of surveys required by this chapter must be transmitted by the county

surveyor to his or her successor in office. 3. Field notes and records maps must be available for copying to any person requiring

a copy of the field notes or records maps.
