Talk:Metes and bounds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'd sure like this explained better, with pictures perhaps on the degrees and direction. The example is good, but a picture would help. --Eckre (talk) 22:24, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd certainly be interested in systems in use in other countries. But, I'm totally unqualified to write about them. We could link from here or the Surveying article. Lou I 15:04, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Metes-and-bounds is the method of deed description in the area of the state of Ohio known as the Western Reserve. The Western Reserve was claimed by the State of Connecticut even after the passage of the Northwest Ordinance in 1787. Ohio's Western Reserve, formerly know as the Western Reserve of Connecticut, is roughly the northeast quadrant of the state. 68.109.232.251 (talk • —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.109.232.251 (talk • contribs). 17:15, January 12, 2007 (UTC)

While it may be possible that some of the earliest deeds were described with metes and bounds, the Western Reserve was surveyed into 25 square mile townships (which makes them distinct from the usual 36 square mile township). older ≠ wiser 18:21, 12 January 2007 (UTC)Bold text
