Any time land is parceled out there is need of surveyors. The early proprietors of townships had the authority to sell tracts of land. The land had to be surveyed in order to set boundary lines so that landowners could locate the limits of their land which they used for farming, grazing, building, logging, etc. Once the land had been surveyed the owner could set about enclosing it with rail or stone or wire fences. If they wanted to sell, subdivide or rent their land they had to be able to describe its boundaries and find it on the ground. Remember, there were no roads to delineate property in the old days.
