Our Story
New River Land Surveying was formed in Boone, NC in 2001 by Russell C. Shaw. Russell has been a friend to many, and has left a lifelong impression on those he worked with. In 2020 Russell retired, and current owner Alexander W. Crowe purchased the business from him.
Since its founding, New River Land Surveying has been providing superior surveying services to Watauga and the surrounding counties, emphasizing professionalism and courtesy. NRLS has a wide range of surveying experience behind our name. As surveying technology and trends develop within the professional community, we strive to continue to provide the same professional service to our clients.
Alexander W. Crowe, PLS
Alex is originally from the Snowbird/Cherokee Indian community in western North Carolina. He and his wife met while in school at App State, and their family has lived in Boone since.
After graduating from Appalachian State University with a degree in Community and Regional Planning (concentrating in GIS), Alex continued his education at NC A&T, studying geomatics.
In 2019, Alex received his PLS (Professional Land Surveyor) licensure. He is a member of the North Carolina Society of Surveyors (NCSS) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS), and is active in the local northwest chapter.
Alex continues to maintain many of the valuable community relationships with builders, architects, designers, developers, and attorneys forged by Russell Shaw during his time as a surveyor in the area.
