Whether you're using traditional surveying techniques or pioneering the latest technological advancements, UGRC offers comprehensive access to data, documentation, and support to enhance the precision and productivity of your work. We also make it easy to contribute your hard-earned, accurate data to important statewide data sets.
Elevate your accuracy
The Utah Reference Network (TURN) is our real-time GPS network that allows you to effortlessly unlock centimeter-level accuracy with an economical subscription service. Widely utilized across various industries including land surveying, engineering, construction, GIS feature collection, drone piloting, and high-precision agriculture, TURN GPS offers unparalleled accuracy anytime and anywhere across Utah and into several surrounding states.
One stop for PLSS
Once you've conducted your high-precision surveys with TURN GPS, contribute your results to help us maintain the integrity and increase the accuracy of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) and land management practices throughout Utah. Our intuitive PLSS web application offers a section corner map viewer with monument record sheet download. It also makes it effortless to comply with state code by creating a single entry point to upload your existing monument sheets, or quickly enter data, to create new monument records and automatically submit them to county surveyors for review.
Monument restoration funding
Led by UGRC's State Surveyor, the Monument Replacement and Restoration Committee (MRRC) coordinates efforts to identify, replace, and restore survey monuments, which serve as the cornerstone for accurate land surveys. The MRRC administers an annual grant program aimed at assisting counties with improving their inventory of monuments by providing funds for the location and replacement of these historical markers, helping ensure the continued accuracy and reliability of property boundaries for surveyors and landowners alike. Contact us with questions about how to participate in this program.
Simplify municipal annexations
UGRC supports the Lieutenant Governor's office with municipal and political boundary annexations, disconnections, and adjustments. If you plan to submit one of these to the Lieutenant Governor's office, feel free to get in touch with us about the requirements and expectations of your submission to make the process clearer and smoother for you, and for us! The sooner we can get your changes integrated into our data, the sooner people can take advantage of the new boundaries.
Help with survey control
UGRC offers assistance to surveyors involved in special control projects by leveraging our network of national-level expertise to provide invaluable recommendations and support. By serving as Utah's State Coordinator for the National Geodetic Survey (NGS), our State Surveyor is committed to upholding and ensuring accessibility to the National Spatial Reference Frame (NSRF) and empowering surveyors with accurate and reliable geodetic data for their endeavors.
