Motion Sensor and a Recorded Access Easement
The easement is a right to pass, not a private alarm zone for the whole road.

Why this comes up
The easement is a right to pass, not a private alarm zone for the whole road. Alarm the spur after the easement reaches your gate.
What to check on the map first
County GIS lines are assessment maps. They are not a survey, and a product will not redraw them.
Open Platbookmapper and choose the state. The directory sends you to the county viewer. Match the parcel ID before you trust a pin on an aerial photo.
A tool that matches the job
Shop the Driveway alert when that is the job in front of you. Alarm the spur after the easement reaches your gate.
The limit
Put the sensor on your lane or your door. A chime is not a boundary, and a shared easement is only a right to pass.
Walk the parcel in daylight before you trust a gadget at dusk.
Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey.
