| “For the past 20 years, Rob Nurre has traveled throughout the country as the “Surly Surveyor” presenting interpretive programs about the original land surveys and the landscapes that the surveyors encountered. Deputy Surveyor, Albert Stuntz, the “Surly Surveyor”, will be visiting the Cable-Namakagon area that he first surveyed in February of 1857 in this re-enactment by Rob Nurre. Nurre uses notes from the original surveys, antique survey instruments and tools to explain the work that was done. Nurre also discusses how the original survey records can be used to interpret the pre-settlement landscape and how the land survey effects how landscapes are perceived today.”
