UNITED STATES LAND SURVEYS.
OF ANALYSIS OF THE SYSTEM UNITED STATES LAND SURVEYS
COPYRIGHT, 1690.
METES AND BOUNDS.
P to the time of the Revolutionary War, or until abont the beginning of the present century, land, when parcelled ont, and sold or granted, was described by " Metes and Bonnds," and that system is still in existence in the following Stutes, or in those portions of them which had been sold or granted when the present plan of surveys was adopted, viz .: New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, and the six New England States. To describe land by " Metes und Bonnds," is to have a known land-mark for a place of beginning. and then follow a line according to the compass-needle (or magnetic bearing), or the course of a stream, or track of an ancient high- way. This plan has resultod m endless confusion and litigation, as lund-marks decay and change, and it is a well-known fact that tho compass-needle varies and does not always point duo North.
As an example of this plan of dividing lands, the following description of a farin laid ont by "" Metes and Bounds, " is given: "Beginning at a stone on the Bank of Doe River, at a point where the highway from A. to B. crosses said river (see point marked C. on Diagram 1); thenee 40° North of West 100 rods to a largo stump; thence 10º North of West 90 rods; thence 15° West of North: 80 rods to an oak tree (see Witness Tree on Diagram 1); thence dne East 150 rods to the highway; thence following the course of the highway 50 rods dne North; thenee 5º North of East 90 rods; thenee 45° East of South 60 rods; thenee 10º North of East 300 rods to the Doe River; thence following the course of the river Sonthwesterly to the place of beginning." This, which is a very simple and modernte description by " Metes and Bonnds," would leave the boundaries of the farm as shown in Diagram 1.

T THE present system of Governmental Land Surveys was adopted by Con- gress on the 7th of May, 1785. It has been in use ever since and is the legal method of describing and dividing lands. It is ealled the "Rectangular System,' that is, all its distances and bearings are measured from two lines which are at right angles to each other, viz .: +. These two lines, from which the measurements aro mude, are the Principal Meridians, which run North and South, and the Buse Lines, which run East and West, These Principal Meridians are es- tablished, with great aocu- racy, by astronomical obser- vations. Each Principal Meridian has its Base Line, and these two lines form the basis or foundation for the surveys or measurement of all the lands within the ter- ritory which they control.
Dingram 2 shows all of the Principal Meridians and Base Lines in the central portion of the United States, and from it the territory gov- erned by each Meridian and Base Line may be readily distinguished. Each Merid- ian and Buse Line is marked with its proper number or name, as ure also the Stand- and Parallels nud guide (01 an xihary) Meridians.
Diagram 3 illustrates what is meant when this method is termed the " Rectangular System, " and how the meas- urements are based on lines which run at right angles to each other. The heavy line running North and South (marked A. A.) represents the Principal Meridian, in this ease say the 5th Principal Meridian. Tho heavy line running East and West (marked B. B.) is the Base Line. "These lines are used as the starting points or basis of all measurements or sur- veys made in territory con- trolled by the 5th Principal Meridian. The same fact applies to all other Principal Meridians and their Base Lines. Commencing ut the Principal Meridian, at inter- vals of six miles, lines are run Northand South, parallel to the Meridian. This plan is followed both East and West of tho Meridian throughont the territory controlled by the Meridian.
