ABSTRACT

Compass Surveying is a type of surveying to determine direction of surveying line by using a

magnetic compass, and the length of the lines from other station to another station are
measured with a tape. Measuring tape had been used to finish this task. The compass is
used to run the traverse line. The compass gives bearing of lines with respect to magnetic
north. The included angles can then calculated using suitable formulas in case of clockwise
and anti-clockwise traverse respectively. For each survey line traverse, surveyors take two
bearings that is forward as well as back bearing which should logic according to the
quadrant. The procedure was repeated until the surveyed line reach its first station back.
Finally, record all the point at the land that used to make compass surveying transfer to
make a final plan.
