Property lines in Cheatham County, Tennessee
Lines on the map show roughly where one parcel near Ashland City ends and the next begins; the exact spot is a surveyor's call. Tennessee is a metes-and-bounds state. Rural deeds in Cheatham County describe boundaries with bearings, distances and landmarks rather than a square grid, so parcel lines are often irregular. For rural ground near Chapmansboro, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.
