In real estate, a lot line is a demarcated boundary that defines the perimeter of a property described in a property survey. These lines are crucial for determining the exact dimensions and legal boundaries of the land.
The Rectangular Survey System, also known as the Government Rectangular Survey System, is a method used in the United States to divide and describe land using a grid system based on principal meridians and baselines. This system was established by the Land Ordinance of 1785 to simplify and standardize land descriptions.
