What is a Metes and Bounds survey - ANS - 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.)
