What is a Metes and Bounds survey - CORRECT ANSWERS
A system or method of describing land from English Common
Law that uses physical features of the local geography, along with
directions and distances, to define and describe the boundaries of a
parcel of land. The boundaries are described in a running prose style,
working around the parcel in sequence, from a point of beginning,
returning back to the same point. (The term "metes" refers to a
boundary defined by the measurement of each straight run, specified
by a distance between the terminal points, and an orientation or
direction. A direction may be a simple compass bearing, or a precise
orientation determined by accurate survey methods. The term
"bounds" refers to a more general boundary description, such as along
a certain watercourse, a stone wall, an adjoining public road way, or
an existing building.)
