Trail Camera for Deer on a Hunting Parcel
You want the food plot and the two-track, not the neighbor's stand.

Why this comes up
You want the food plot and the two-track, not the neighbor's stand. Mark the stand and the plot on your side, then aim the camera there.
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 Cellular trail camera when that is the job in front of you. Mark the stand and the plot on your side, then aim the camera there.
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.
