A metes and bounds legal description in a County can be based upon:
SECTION NUMBER: If you look at a plat map you will see how each Section (one mile square = 640 acres) is numbered
TOWNSHIP These ARE NOT Political Townships such as Clear Creek or Indian Creek where I live butttttttt they are numbered however many (Townships) North or South of the base. Example the 7th Township North is T7N
RANGE These are similar buttttttt they are however many East or West from the base. Example the 5th Range West is R5W
For example my farm is a part of the ... NW 1/4 of Section 23, Township 7 North, Range 5 West of the Second Principal Meridian located in Indian Creek Township of Monroe County, Indiana bounded and described as follows to-wit:: (Then it has a legal description laid out as below)
NEXT a Section, a mile square, is 640 acres so a Quarter Section is 160 and a Quarter Quarter Section would be 40 acres.......then you may own the East One Half of a Quarter Quarter Section so thats 20 acres while the West One Half of an entire Section would be 320 acres.
When a surVeyor writes a legal description he starts with where it COMMENCES which is often say a Section corner such as the Northwest Corner of Section 23......Then it may be like 500 feet thence South to THE TRUE POINT OF BEGINNINGand thats where your lot begins, it may then run x feet east, x feet South x feet West, x feet North BACK TO THE POINT OF BEGINNING and equals x acres more or less
Go buy a Plat Map and it will be very easy to figure this out
