What Is A Boundary Survey:

A boundary survey is the surveyor's professional opinion on the location of property lines of the subject land. The surveyor verifies the property corners to the recorded legal descriptions for the subject property as well as legal descriptions for adjacent properties and plats at the county courthouse, the monuments set in the field, and any structures indicating lines of possession like fences, walls, hedges, and yards. The legal description for the property will either follow a metes and bounds description or comply with the Public Land Survey System established at the end of the 18th century. The surveyor will locate any encroachments onto or from the subject property and will reset any missing monuments.

• The Virtual Museum of Surveying includes two well written articles on the difference between a Metes & Bounds Survey and the Public Land Survey System and the origins of the Public Land Survey System.
• The Land Survey Information is the Internet presence of the Public Land Survey System maintained by the Bureau of Land Management.
