Metes and bounds describes a parcel by outlining its boundary lines using measured directions and distances. This method starts at a point of beginning and travels along lines to each corner, ending back at the starting point. The description often references natural or man-made landmarks as points of reference and can include notes about adjacent properties or owners to help situate the plot within surrounding parcels. The emphasis on directions and distances along the boundary is what distinguishes this description.
