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.)
