Historical connection
The county says Whitley County falls within the Second Principal Meridian survey system. It directs section-corner questions to the Surveyor and notes that original survey notes are on microfilm in the Recorder’s office.
Where this office’s responsibility stops
Survey and corner evidence does not replace a recorded deed or resolve title by itself. The county describes wood posts used between 1828 and 1839 and later replacement monuments; the current corner record and legal description are necessary to connect that history to a parcel.
Make a useful Whitley County Surveyor request
For a corner or survey question, provide township, range, section, corner designation, legal description, parcel number, and any survey or tie-card reference. For drainage or address work, identify the property and use the specific county form or schedule.
Verification notes
The county services directory supplies the Surveyor contact and explains Whitley County’s section-corner system. A 2025 county planning document independently shows the Surveyor and Engineer Department at Suite 203 with the same telephone number.
