If you are in the United States, you can join your state land surveying association. Ask your co-workers for information about it. On the internet, you can visit RPLS.com, which is a message board where surveyors discuss all issues, and you can ask questions and get advice.

You can try online database such as realtor.com  or craigslist.org\n\nOR..  Try going to county recorder's office and getting the information of land owners in your area.  If it is an empty land, and you offer to rent it, I don't see why owner's will say no.

If you suspect the survey is mistaken, consult a licensed professional land surveyor who specializes in complex boundary issues, not every surveyor gets it right. If you cannot find one in your area, consult a title attorney who has had experience in such cases, they will probably know the most expert surveyors in the area.

ESRI, it aint cheap, but it is strictly made for maps like that. autocad map will do it too, but not as easy, but its a little cheaper. you could look at google earth too.

It depends on the laws of your state and the particular dispute you have.  You would probably serve yourself well to have the land surveyed before you attempt to sue your neighbor.  A surveyor will look at your property deed then determine where the actual "metes and bounds" of your property are.  The surveyor should also be able to give you some sort of opinion as to whether you are correct in your assumptions about your property boundary.\n\nGood luck!

You can go the metorology route. I also have some friends that work for the forrest service that map their trails and do GPS style stuff. I would get comfortable with the common georaphy programs, if your not teaching, then its gonna be involving some computer work

Yes, there is one for sure in Copperas Cove, check in the phone book.  There are more I believe, check the Thrifty Nickle for some of the ads.

I'm not into Outdoor Recreation, but if this place is in Britain then all you need is the postcodes of the two places in question, and use samknows.com.\n\nAlternatively, you could use Google's website, which will give you directions. However, samknows.com gives you (I believe) extremely accurate distance measurements (in a straight line), while google.co.uk measures distance in terms of road travel (which isn't necessarily in a straight line).
