The pairings of 14 Degrees,35'50" with 75 degrees, 24'10" denote right angles, and the 100 and 150 foot distances concur with your 100x150 foot plot.

The tricky part, however, is the directions from point of departure to the first corner of the described parcel. Why so many different legs?

Is there a terrain issue, like an arroyo or other geographic feature that requires this four segment trip to the TRUE POINT OF THE BEGINNING?

I would be looking for a USGS benchmark to tie to the quadrant maps or section maps available and referenced.

Good luck.

if it is indeed starting at the NW corner of the SE quarter then yes, there is a wash (and a buried gas line) but they aren't any real obstacles in terms of say, walking.

now, there WAS a very narrow RoW connected to this at one time, but I don't think that is where any of these marks are. not sure since I don't know where the actual corners/boundaries are. there is a well on the site but I don't even know exactly where is it in relation to the boundaries.

Find your nearest topo quadrant, see if there are any benchmarks nearby.

Also, any municipal services (manhole, centers of intersections) can be used to reconcile locations.

What you probably most desperately need is that starting point from which you can measure out to your parcel and then trace out the four corners.

I love this shit.

I've looked at property descriptions, but never one as complicated as this one!

I have to go pick up a kid from work, will check that out when I get back (or in the morning LOL)

thanks!

Here's a possible short cut - see if the property appraiser in the county where the property is has mapping online (APIS, I think it's called). Our does - and you can get a lovely satellite view picture of any property in the county showing the property lines.

It is not sufficient to locate boundaries for legal purposes but does provide a really good idea of where the property lies and can show some landmarks to roughly find the edges - unless the property is thickly wooded (like the bottom thirty acres of ours).

You can make the boundary with a protractor, or walk it with a compass. Alternately, if you have AutoCAD Civil 3D, you can use the command for drawing a line by boundary directions. It's a pretty cool command once you're in it, as it highlights each quadrant (NW | NE | SE | SW) as you click on them. After that, you put in the compass degrees as decimal places for the minutes and seconds.

If the boundary "closes" without a gap (or a minuscule gap, like, say, one foot or less) the AutoCAD command will create the parcel, allowing you to see properties like square footage, acres, boundary totals in feet and rods, and then label each side accordingly.

If I had AutoCAD loaded on this machine, I'd make a boundary drawing for you. I'll have to see if I can get it to install

By that description above, you're starting in the SE quadrant. I'm a bit surprised at the two descriptions "thence south 600 feet" and "thence west 45 feet" as they are assuming exactly due south and exactly due west. I've just never come across that before.
