GIS lines vs. surveyed lines in Harrison County

How Harrison County deeds describe boundaries
Ohio uses the Public Land Survey System: rural descriptions near Bowerston cite section, township and range, often down to a quarter-quarter. In subdivisions in Bowerston, the recorded plat named on the record displays the dimensions, which a surveyor will want to see.
On the ground with the map

Garages, sheds and pools near East Cadiz often have setback minimums, and the measurement is from the surveyed line, not the Harrison County GIS line. When a neighbor near Adena wants to share the cost of a survey, a joint agreement in writing keeps the result useful to both owners.
