What method describes a land parcel with boundary directions and distances, including notes on adjacent owners and lot numbers?

Metes and bounds describes a land parcel by its boundary lines using measured distances and compass directions, starting at a known point of beginning and tracing the perimeter until it returns to that point. This approach often includes notes about adjacent owners or lot numbers to place the parcel in relation to neighboring properties. While it uses both directions (bounds) and distances (metes) and can reference landmarks or monuments, the term metes and bounds specifically captures this method of describing a parcel. The other options don’t correspond to a recognized method name describing a perimeter with directions, distances, and neighboring references.
