Trail Camera at a Mineral Site on Your Land
A mineral lick draws deer. It should sit inside the parcel.

Why this comes up
A mineral lick draws deer. It should sit inside the parcel. Place the site and the camera where the parcel map shows your ground.
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 Trail camera when that is the job in front of you. Place the site and the camera where the parcel map shows your ground.
The limit
Hang the camera on your tree and face it into your parcel. A photo does not prove where the line is.
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.
