About Us

Based in Minocqua, Wisconsin, J.W. Austin Associates provides select land surveying services in northern Wisconsin and on a contract basis in several western states. Having been active in the surveying profession for decades, we have acquired experience that promotes cost effective, unique solutions to the most challenging land surveying projects.

Jeffrey W. Austin, Principal Surveyor Accreditations: Wisconsin Registered Land Surveyor (1986) Alaska Professional Land Surveyor (1990) Idaho Professional Land Surveyor (1991) Arizona Registered Land Surveyor (1999) Certified Federal Surveyor (2007) Member in good standing: Northern Lakes Chapter - WSLS Wisconsin Society of Land Surveyors Alaska Society of Professional Land Surveyors American Congress on Surveying and Mapping National Society of Professional Surveyors Wisconsin County Surveyors Association

As a recognized expert in the recovery and perpetuation of the Public Land Survey System, in 2006 Mr. Austin was invited by the Bureau of Land Management to participate in the "beta test group" of the Certified Federal Surveyor program. The program was conceived to enhance the level of knowledge and expertise in the professional land surveying community for work performed on or near federal interest lands.

Since 2007, Mr. Austin has participated in the "GLO Recovery Workshop" sponsored by Michigan Technological University, the US Forest Service and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The workshop exposes students, technicians, and land surveyors to the proper techniques of recovering evidence of the General Land Office surveys.

With most of our projects in the Wisconsin counties of Oneida, Vilas, Price and Iron, and within the Lac du Flambeau Indian Reservation, we have developed methods and employed technology that allows us to work efficiently in the sometimes challenging environment of northern Wisconsin.

While the following map depicts our general service area in the State of Wisconsin, we are willing to travel anywhere on a contract basis for the right project!
