About us
NSPS is the voice of the professional surveying community in the U.S. & territories with more than 17,000 members. NSPS has a strong constituency base through which it communicates directly with lawmakers, agencies, and regulators at international, national and state levels. NSPS monitors and comments on legislation, regulation, and policies that have potential impact on the activities of its members and stakeholders, and collaborates with many other organizations in the geospatial community on issues of mutual interest. NSPS is the lead society within ABET for accreditation of surveying and similarly named programs and is instrumental in assuring that surveyors receive an education relevant to their role in society. NSPS offers a robust scholarship program, and sponsors an annual project-based student competition. Other STEM-related activities are a certification program for Surveying Technicians and Hydrographers, as well as an annual Trigonometry competition (TrigStar) for high school students. Licensure of Professional Surveyors is a critical element in protecting the public’s interest, and welfare. NSPS works closely with the NCEES to assure that examination structures and processes for licensure are accessible, fair, and adequate to address inevitable changing technological, societal and regulatory advancement. NSPS has an excellent working relationship with a number of federal agencies including the BLM, NGS and USGS, as well through representation on FEMA’s Technical Mapping Advisory Council (TMAC) and the National Geospatial Advisory Council (NGAC). NSPS strives to advance the sciences and disciplines within the profession, and to establish and further common interests, objectives, and political efforts to help bind the surveying profession into a unified body in the United States.

Monument Monday! Frank X. Spencer and Associates, Inc. (FXSA), recovered the below survey monument and used it as a basis for control for a USACE project in the area. The monument is unique because it marks the exact point where the boundaries of the Creek, Osage, and Cherokee Nations meet, as well as the 96th Meridian. It also separates two counties: Osage and Tulsa. Positioned by the Oklahoma Department of Highways, Survey Division, and designed by L.E. Higginbotham, it serves a key role in defining this area. The monument was carefully reset in 1973 and is located with precise details: 19 feet north of a traffic island’s curb, 40 feet west of a nearby expressway bridge, and 407 feet east of a specific avenue centerline. Its precise location and role in marking important boundaries make it a notable and valuable reference point. Authority: The marker indicates that it is under the authority of the Oklahoma Department of Highways, Survey Division. Location: The monument sits between Osage and Tulsa County, it also sits in between Osage Nation, Cherokee Nation and Creek Nation. The monument also sits on the 96th Meridian. Date: The monument was reset in 1973. Designer: Designed by L.E. Higginbotham.
