What is a general civil engineer?
(OP)
Is there really such a thing as a general civil engineer? I'm from the southwest and what other people seem to refer to as a general civil is typically refered to out here as a civil engineer in land development. Can anybody tell me if there is a difference? In land development out here, they deal with subdivision utilites, roads, hydrology, et al or similar things in large commercial devlopments. Is that basically the same definition as a general civil engineer?

If you "specialize" in say:
treatment plants
pump stations
floodplain delineations
dams and levees
irrigation
water rights
bridges
expert witness
forensic engineering
many other specialties
you would be a specialist - not general

I think it will depend on the makeup of the company you work for. My first employer had a survey, civil/site, environmental (which included a construction inspection), and building services group (which included mechanical, electrical,and structural) in one office and architects, land architects, and more survey personell in the next town over.
My new employer has a MEP group and building services group that includes architects, architect interns, structural, and civil/site. We also have another nearby office with all civil/site and survey.
You do a little bit of a lot of things but usually not structural. That is a little more specialized area. Although I know of a person who got his license passing the structural exam but landed in land development.
