On rural tracts near Fluker, the parcel lines can drift from the fences on the ground, sometimes by more than a few feet. Louisiana uses the Public Land Survey System, so rural deeds in Tangipahoa Parish often describe land by section, township and range, and you can match the call to the grid on the map. A survey is the only document that settles where a Tangipahoa Parish boundary actually runs.
Where Tangipahoa Parish deeds and plats are kept
For land near Ponchatoula, the parcel record is the index; the recorded deed is the source. Names differ across states, so confirm on the official Tangipahoa Parish site which office records deeds and plats. Easements and rights-of-way are usually in recorded documents, not on the parcel map, so read the deed itself for a tract near Fluker.
