ANALYSIS OF THE SYSTEM OF
UNITED STATES LAND SURVEYS
METES AND BOUNDS.
U l' to the time of the Revolutumary War, or until abont the beginning of the present eruitmy, lund, when parec Hed out, mint woki or granted, was deseuted In " Metes and Boutis," atul that system is still in existetre in the following States, of it those portions of them which had been sold or granted when the present plan of surveys was adopted, viz: New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Printwme, Maryland, Viremia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tehaessre, honturks, Texas, aad the six New England States, To deveriler land or " Metes and Bounds." is to move a buon n land-mack for a place of beginning, and then follow a hue according to the compass-needle (or magnetic bearing), or the course of a stream, or track of an ancient high- way. This plan has resulted in etuiless Pontustom and litigation. as land-marks decay aud change, and it is a well-known fact that the compass-needle varies und does not always point que North.
As an example of this plan of dividing lands, the following description of a farm laid out by " Metes and Bounds," is given; " Beginning at a stone on the Bank of Dor Rover, at a point where the highway from A to B crosses sand river (see point mathe (' on Diagram 1; thence 492 North of West IVO rade to a large stump; theuer la" North of West 90 rods; thence 15" West of North 80 rods to an ask tree (ser Witness Tree on Thagrato 1): theure uue Fost 150 rods to the lughway: thence following the course of the highway 30 mous due North; thence a . North of East on rode thence 45" Best of Santh 60 rods; theyare 10" North of East Sod rods to the Dog River; there's following the course of the river Southwesterle to the place of beginning." This, which is a very simple and moderate description by .. Metes and Bonds," would leave tre boundaries vi the farm as shown in Diagram 1.

T ITE present system of Governmental Land Surveys was adopted by Cou- gress on the 4th of May, 1785. ft Ims been in use ever since and is the legal method of describing and dividing lands. It is called the " Rectangular Syste tu." that is, all its distances and bearings are measured from two lines which are at right angles toeach other, viz. :- These two Jmes, from which the measur ments are male. are the l'rincipal Mershans, which ran North and South, and the Bass Lines which run East and West." These Principal Mendians ate es- tablisheri, with great nocu- racy, by astronomienl obser- vations. Each Principal Meridian has its Base Line, and these two Inn - form the basis or fomuiation for the surveys or menzurement of all the lands within the ter- ritory which they control
