the james gang Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 I recently went to the courthouse and obtained a property map of wooded land(130 acres) I expect to lease for the purpose of hunting. The map showes the basic shape of the property. No decription in the way of corners,degrees or distance from one corner to the next. No plat or deed info available. How can I find and walk the borders of the property short of hiring a surveyor to come out and find the boundries for me?

+DustyJacket Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 You can start with a USGS topo map which has PLSS borders, usually. Also, depending on the state, there may be a PLSS office. DustyJacket Not all those that wander are lost. But in my case... Quote Link to comment
survey tech Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 North Carolina is not a Public Land state, so USGS mapping is not likely to help. The property owner must have some idea of his boundaries, although it would be a good idea to also check with the surrounding property owners, to make sure they are all in agreement about where their boundaries are. Better to take the time to check now than get shot later. Quote Link to comment
