GIS lines vs. surveyed lines in Lawrence County

Legal descriptions in Missouri
Rural Lawrence County deeds follow the Public Land Survey System: land near Bowers Mill is located by section, township and range, where a full section is about 640 acres. For a platted lot in Marionville, the plat referenced on the county record gives frontage, depth and easements, and that plat is the document to pull.
Lawrence County land records
For land near Miller, the deed itself lives in the county recording office, and the map is an index to it. Copy the parcel ID and legal description from the county record well before you request a deed for land near Pierce City.
Walking a line in Lawrence County
When you walk a line near Monett, take the parcel ID, the legal description and a printout from the county map; it keeps a conversation with a neighbor concrete. If you locate a pin near Monett, leave it in place; moving or removing a survey monument can create problems for everyone.
Setbacks, fences and trees in Lawrence County
Garages, sheds and pools near Bowers Mill commonly have setback minimums, and the measurement is from the surveyed line, not the Lawrence County GIS line. When a neighbor near Mount Vernon wants to share the cost of a survey, a joint agreement in writing keeps the result useful to both owners.
Pins, plats and surveys
Corner pins on a lot in Stotts City may be buried a few inches down, but one pin does not prove where the line runs. If a neighbor near Bowers Mill disputes a line, the county's recording office may already hold a plat, which saves arguments later.
