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
