Keynote presentation by  Beverly Hart Jones, PSM SURVEYING “PROJECT X”  The Boundary Survey for a secret land acquisition that became Walt Disney World

"In 1964 my father was asked to prepare a survey of 12,450 acres that must be completed within six weeks. This is the story behind that survey and the additional tracts and parcels that became the 27,443 acres that we know today as Walt Disney World. It will cover a little bit of local history and the technology of the day that was used to establish the boundary lines in the woods and swamps of Central Florida almost sixty years ago and led to what, at the time, was the largest private construction project in the United States."

 The technical programme is available on the website.
