MCDOT Surveying Information Resource Guide

There are basically three (3) areas where MCDOT contains useful surveying information depending on what you are looking for.

  1. As-Built Information
  2. Right of Way Information
  3. MCDOT Survey Section Information

The "Survey Section" at MCDOT performs approximately 5 to 20 percent of the survey work on the total roads in MCDOT's capital improvement budget in a given year. The rest of the work is performed by consultants/contractors. The survey information obtained by the consultants/contractors should be reflected in the "As-Built" and "Right of Way" information.

When contacting us, please make sure you include the following:

  1. The particular road you are seeking information on and from which road to which road
  2. The Township, Range and Section(s)
  3. All of your contact information
  1. "As-Built" information. This can be obtained through our customer services / front desk here at MCDOT. You can either:
  2. "Right of Way" info.
    • Contact Ken Green at 602-506-4883.
  3. "Survey" information.

    4. MCDOT survey information general consists of the background notes and information used to facilitate a right of way or construction project, with a few very big exceptions (see below). In theory, all the pertinent information from the survey should make it to the right of way drawings and/or as built drawings but this is not always the case. Sometimes there is useful information found in the field notes but not always.

    If you are interested in a particular area or street. Please provide the above information via email to Jerry Shultz:
