Reading property lines on the Trousdale County GIS map
On rural tracts near Shady Grove, the parcel lines can drift from the fences on the ground, sometimes by more than a few feet. Tennessee is a metes-and-bounds state. Rural deeds in Trousdale County describe boundaries with bearings, distances and landmarks rather than a square grid, so parcel lines are often irregular. For rural ground near Shady Grove, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.
Where Trousdale County deeds and plats are kept
Every line on the Trousdale County map traces back to a recorded deed or plat, and the county's recording office keeps those documents. The office title varies by state (register of deeds, recorder, county clerk or clerk of court), so check the Trousdale County government website for the right one. Rural tracts near Shady Grove may go back through several deeds; the instrument number on the record is the first link in that chain.
