The meter may be at the house, a quarter mile in.

Why this comes up
The meter may be at the house, a quarter mile in. Solar plus cellular is the combination that works before you trench power to the road.
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 Reolink solar 4G camera when that is the job in front of you. Solar plus cellular is the combination that works before you trench power to the road.
The limit
Point the camera at your own gate, door, or pad. It does not decide a lot line, and it should not cover a neighbor's windows.
The county viewer is the map. The product is only the tool you carry.
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.
