The Inca had a pretty decent engineering department:

Amazing that they had no written language, but do all that.

Map of the counties dating quite a ways back:
http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/countyatlas/
The search by map works, but I got nothing returned on simply searching for my last name in the following:
"Oxford County, South Norwich Twnshp, Norwich"
........so I think that it may have a problem as, well, they were a few people in the area with my last name
Combine this with my Oxford County GIS link and you can see the differences that have occurred over the years along with a photogrammetric overlay.

Lawyer/journalist with a bunch of articles that relate to survey's:
http://www.aaron.ca/columns/toronto-star-index.htm
Some of them highlight why when buying, a survey is better than title insurance.

What happens when city revenue gets combined with traffic engineering and red lights?
http://news.slashdot.org/news/08/04/11/1550231.shtml
Shorter yellow lights to catch people to pay the city and cause more accidents. Red light cameras are a money grab--safety, my @rse.

Some pretty cool examples of engineering in China:
