Where a Trail Camera Sits Relative to the Lot Line
The strap should be on your tree.

Why this comes up
The strap should be on your tree. If you cannot tell which side of the line the tree is on, do not hang the camera yet.
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 strap kit when that is the job in front of you. If you cannot tell which side of the line the tree is on, do not hang the camera yet.
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.
