Why the map and the ground disagree
Boundaries on the Fulton County map come from digitized deeds and old tax maps, and photo alignment alone can shift them. Before you build close to a line near Big Cove Tannery, rely on recorded documents and a licensed survey rather than the county layer.
How Fulton County deeds describe boundaries
Land near Valley-Hi is mostly described by metes and bounds, which a surveyor has to retrace on the ground. In subdivisions in Valley-Hi, the recorded plat named on the record shows the dimensions, which a surveyor will want to see.
On the ground with the map
On rural land near Big Cove Tannery, old fences and tree lines commonly follow a past boundary, but do not assume they match the deed. If you track down a pin near Needmore, leave it in place; moving or removing a licensed survey monument can create problems for everyone.

Trees and hedges along a line near McConnellsburg cause plenty of disputes; a licensed survey settles which side of the line a county trunk sits on.
