Trail Camera Aimed at a Field Edge
A field edge is a travel route for deer and for people.

Why this comes up
A field edge is a travel route for deer and for people. Strap it to your side of the field, looking across your crop, not the next farm.
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 Solar trail camera when that is the job in front of you. Strap it to your side of the field, looking across your crop, not the next farm.
The limit
Hang the camera on your tree and face it into your parcel. A photo does not prove where the line is.
If the line is the real question, call a surveyor. The gear will not answer it.
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.
