Understanding ExpressMap; Antarctic Mountain Reaches New Height; African School Named for Surveyor; and Lewis and Clark: A 3D Perspective.

Sumner sent a letter to First American with the support of about 30 state societies, listing several questions and potential problems with the service. Among the concerns noted in the letter from ACSM is the fact that the ExpressMap process cannot truly serve as a comparable alternative to the ALTA/ACSM survey. Evidence supporting this position includes the ALTA/ACSM survey requirement that surveyors must show physical features with five feet on each side of boundary lines on the plat, as well as evidence of unrecorded easements. These matters can affect title, but cannot be addressed by the ExpressMap service.
