A surveyor travels to the property and analyzes it with respect to it's surroundings. Most of the time, he will use equipment to measure the distances of various objects on the property, research the county courthouse for legal descriptions and recorded drawings of the property, interprets the data, and draws a sketch of the property on a sheet of paper. While geometry and trigonometry are important knowledge for a surveyor, he also must be fluent in the local laws and court rulings concerning property transactions and rights.
The survey that the surveyor produces, while highly accurate, is considered as an approximation of the property's boundary and it's topography in the court system. A surveyor does not grant land, only the courts can grant land to an individual, but the surveyor's knowledge of the property is used by the courts in determining the property's boundary.
