What is a Metes and Bounds survey - 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.)
