How accurate are Henderson County, TX property lines?
A Henderson County GIS map is built for assessment, not construction. In Henderson County, as in most places, the lines are a best fit of old deed calls onto modern aerial photos. Texas rural land is described by original survey and abstract number, not sections and townships, and the Henderson County appraisal map usually shows the abstract lines. If a neighbor's fence near Gun Barrel City and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.
