Friar Lands Act surveys were conducted during which years?

Surveys for the Friar Lands Act were carried out in the early 20th century as the government moved to identify and map the friar estates eligible for transfer. The work spanned from 1904 through 1913, involving field visits, boundary determinations, area measurements, and valuation to prepare titles and records for eventual disposition to tenant farmers. The lengthy, decade-long timeline reflects the scope of the landholdings and the need to establish clear, legally sound documentation before parcels could be transferred. Periods outside this window don’t match the actual survey timeline of the Act.
