Karen Tilton, PLS, CFedS, SR/WA
Group Manager - Right of Way Services
Early in her career, Karen recognized the unique survey, land management and land title history developing within our state and focused her education and practice on evaluation of right-of-way (ROW) and land title issues in Alaska. Mapping for public projects is her specialty. Each project needs an evaluation of existing public rights within the project limits. Karen identifies these rights and provides a location for them, thus enabling the design team to confidently determine the additional ROW needed to construct the project. Karen then prepares the mapping for ROW acquisition and provides support through construction and project closeout.

If I had more time in my career (which I don't), I would work for BLM to get more knowledge about federal land law. I also would have liked to work in remote sensing or geodetics to expand my knowledge in those areas. -
