Informal street number and name or the
distance
from a certain landmark; property boundaries
cannot
be determined by these methods and the address
and
physical features may change over the years
LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF
PROPERTY
METES AND BOUNDS
DEFINITION OF
TERMS
Points of Beginning - must be either (1) at a known
point (such as a monument) or (2) at a certain course
and distance from such a known point.
o Reference points (Bureau of Lands Location
Monument -BLLM, Bureau of Lands Barrio Monuments
- BLBM, Tie Point or point of beginning)
Bearing - indicate course or direction
Distances - the description of a property line must show
distance (length of line)
Closure - created by erroneous points of beginning,
erroneous courses, and erroneous distances
Monuments- are permanent landmarks that indicate
boundaries. They may be natural (trees, streams, and
lakes) or artificial (fences, walls, stakes, posts, pins,
roads, streets, and railroads).

THREE ELEMENTS
IN SURVEYING
DISTANCE = the extent or
amount of space between two
things, points, lines, etc.
DIRECTION = a position on a
line extending from a specific
point toward a point of the
compass. Defined by the
number of degrees, minutes
and seconds.
ELEVATION = height above a
fixed reference point

THE MEASURING
WHEEL
A simple measuring wheel mounted
on a rod can be used to determine
distances, by pushing the rod and
rolling the wheel along the line to be
measured.
An attached device called an
odometer serves to count the
number of turns of the wheels
From the known circumference of the
wheel and the number of revolutions,
distances for reconnaissance can be
determined with relative accuracy of
about 1:200.

ORIENTING A MAP
Orienting, or aligning, the
map is really easy with just
3 steps:
Lay your map out on a
relatively flat, smooth
surface.
Turn your declinationadjusted compass dial so
due North is at the index
pointer.
Place your compass on
your map with the edge of
the base plate parallel to
the north-south meridians
on the map.

STEPS IN LOT
VERIFICATION
Compare lot plan, title and tax declaration whether they
are agreeable with each other like name or owner,
bearings, boundaries, etc.
o Further verification is done by asking the help of the
assessor thru its tax mapping division
o If it is a subdivision lot, refer to the subdivision
developer, homeowners association, owners of adjacent
lots as to the correctness of the plan as shown in the
TCT
o If the lot is not within the subdivision, hire a licensed
geodetic engineer especially if the property is rawland.
o Verify actual area vs area stated in the title. Check
possible encroachments.
