Trail Camera for a Spring on the Property
Springs draw animals and the occasional visitor.

Why this comes up
Springs draw animals and the occasional visitor. Confirm the spring is inside the parcel before you treat the seep as yours.
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 Waterproof trail camera when that is the job in front of you. Confirm the spring is inside the parcel before you treat the seep as yours.
The limit
Hang the camera on your tree and face it into your parcel. A photo does not prove where the line is.
Match the parcel ID on the tax bill before you shop for the field kit.
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.
