Mid Missouri Surveying Business files FOR SALE
Around 2500 + files of a land survey business for Boone, Callaway, Cooper, Howard and a few other counties, east & west of Columbia. Surveying-related projects date from June 1978 to December 1989 as the initial business operation, until transfer of ownership to a Mid-Missouri Engineering firm. And then it was operated as the surveying department of said engineering firm from December 1989 to July 2010. Then a reconfiguration of the subject survey operation has continued since 2010 as a separate surveying business after engineering firm closed due to engineer/owner’s death.

A set of 25 flat file drawers will need to go with the 300 + subdivision plats that match the various files, as well as a well-organized index of the surveying records – both by subdivision name and by Section, Township & Range.
