What is a Metes and Bounds survey - correct answer-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.)
