What describes a land parcel with boundary directions and distances, including notes of adjacent property owners and features?

Metes and bounds describes a land parcel by a sequence of boundary lines measured in directions and distances, starting from a defined point of beginning and returning to it. Along the way, it notes the adjacent property owners and physical features or monuments that mark each corner. This approach creates a precise narrative of the parcel’s shape and location, tying it to neighboring properties and landmarks so the land can be identified on the ground. It differs from a simple measurement (which is just numbers), a land survey (the broader process or report, not the specific descriptive form), or survey symbols (map shorthand used to indicate features). Therefore the described parcel fits metes and bounds.
