How accurate are Cullman County, AL property lines?
A Cullman County GIS map is built for assessment, not construction. In Cullman County, as in most places, the lines are a best fit of old deed calls onto modern aerial photos. Square-ish tracts around Colony are no accident: Alabama land was surveyed into sections, and deeds still describe land that way. If a neighbor's fence near Good Hope and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.

Behind the map: land records in Cullman County
The paper trail for a tract near Baileyton lives with the county probate office; the map itself is an assessment product. Like every Alabama county, Cullman County records deeds through its probate court's recording office rather than a county clerk. Easements and rights-of-way are usually in recorded documents, not on the parcel map, so read the deed itself for a tract near Joppa.
A note on timing and acreage
If a tract near Hanceville changed hands recently, the recorded deed is more current than the map. The acreage on a Hanceville record is what the tax roll uses, and a survey can come out different.
