Wire fence-lines don't mean much here in New York. Such fence lines are often NOT put on property lines - to avoid disputes. Often set 10 or 20 feet off. On the other hand, many rock-wall fence lines date back 200 years and are mentioned in deeds as property lines. Same goes with large trees that appear to be in "no man's land" and never get touched during logging. On the part of the surveyor - it's his job to follow deeds back as far as needed to find such references.
Easiest way to find out what the current thinking of courts and judges is - to do a simple case-law search though a legal database, e.g. Lexus-Nexus, and search with the name of your state and/or county, along with "fence lines", "property lines", etc. You find detailed accounts of court findings on these matters.
If this stuff was simple, we wouldn't constantly hear about one court finding one way, and then, on appeal, the higher court reversing.
