  37. Metes and Bounds • Courses or Calls • Measurements & Boundaries of Parcel • Metes - Direction and Distance • Bounds - Call to Adjoiner • Monuments - Natural & Artificial

  38. Metes and Bounds - Directions • Compass Bearings • Deflection from North or South • Degrees (°), Minutes (’), Seconds (”) • Deflection Angle From Preceding Line • Azimuths • Total Clockwise Angle From True South or North

  39. Metes & Bounds • Must Have a Known Point of Beginning • May Start at Point of Commencement • Lengths & Bearings Sequentially Given & Corners Described • Completely Encircle Property, Usually Clockwise • Must Close Back to POB • Error of Closure

  40. Example P.O.C.

  41. Definitions of North • True North • Origin at Geographic North Pole • True North Lines Not Parallel - Converge

  42. Definitions of North • Magnetic North • Indicated by Magnetic Compass • Points to Magnetic North Pole • Magnetic Declination - Angle Between True North& Magnetic North • Varies with Location , Time and Date • Local Magnetic Attraction - Caused by Conditionsin local Area

  43. Definitions of North • Datum North • Bearings Established by Previous Survey or Map

  44. Summary Metes & Bounds • Begins With General Location • Describe POB or POC • Give Detailed Description of Parcel • Include Direction & Length of Calls • Return to POB (Error of Closure) • Include Statement of Area

  46. Exercise #16 – Plotting Metes & Bounds

  47. Point Description • Acquisition of Strip Parcels for Highways • Right of Way - Irregular Shape • Property Description • Centerline Divided into Stations • Centerline Fully Described, Referenced,and Recorded • Station & Offset Established to Each Point

  49. Centerline Description • Description of Centerline Path • Usually by Metes and Bounds • Calibrated in “Stations” • Must be Defined, Described, Referenced, and Recorded • R/W Width Specified With Referenceto Centerline Stations • Area = Centerline Length x Width of R/W
