I appreciate both the mapper link and also the ideas on how to handle the data!Linda Schreiberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858967138913513166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-27316633214692098212015-01-08T04:30:47.689-08:002015-01-08T04:30:47.689-08:00Randy, I am fascinated by this!

I would also probably place the names of the adjoining property owners out on all sides. Perhaps one could get one or two of these puzzle pieces to fit together someday. Who knows!! You've given me a lot to think about. thanks for posting!Diane Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651983086274990288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-3405517272959000972015-01-07T16:42:50.947-08:002015-01-07T16:42:50.947-08:00Randy, I bought DeedMapper years ago and tried plo...Randy, I bought DeedMapper years ago and tried plotting out metes and bounds. I actually completed quite a few pieces of land and I was amazed to discover how many survey errors are in those property descriptions. I plotted and replotted properties that didn't "close" at the end and they came out wrong again and again. Either the surveyors or recording clerk often erred so it may be that you didn't make any mistake at all.Linda Stufflebeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652044674485948749noreply@blogger.com
