§154.  Conformance to prior survey or to plats under which lands sold by state or by U.S.

In making his survey, the surveyor shall, as nearly as possible, re-establish the original lines of any prior survey made under United States or state authority.  Where no survey has been made, the surveyor, in surveying and platting a township, shall make his survey conform, as nearly as practicable, to the lots and sections as indicated on the plats according to which the lands were sold by the state or by the United States.  Nothing in this Section affects the articles of the Louisiana Civil Code relating to boundaries.
