  • Introduction to Real Estate
    Topic 2: Land and its Legal Description (Copyright © 2021 Joseph W. Trefzger) Definitions: 1) Real estate: Land and improvements permanently attached (often in a physical sense, but not necessarily). 2) Land: Surface of the earth and natural resources; also areas below the surface (such as mineral rights) and for some distance above the surface. Think of a wedge shape running from the center of the earth into the sky, with the land owner’s property rights extending to a height that prevents others from interfering with the owner’s use and enjoyment of the property (sometimes approximated as the height of the tallest human-made structures). Planes are allowed to fly far overhead, but in a famous case just after WW II the U.S. Supreme Court awarded a North Carolina chicken farming couple money for lost property value when a small nearby airport expanded beyond serving small planes. The noise and vibrations from large military craft flying just overhead during takeoff kept the farmers from sleeping, and upset the birds so much that they could not lay eggs; some even panicked and fatally flew into walls. The Court held that while the common law view of property rights extending to the heavens was impractical in the aviation age, frequent flights low enough to interfere with owners’ enjoyment of the land was a taking of their rights. 3) Real property: Technically it relates to rights in real estate, but informally the term is used interchangeably with “real estate.” 4) Legal description: A description of a parcel of land that would be acceptable in a court or a legal proceeding.

In the civil law system, there is a division between movable and immovable property. Movable property roughly corresponds to personal property, while immovable property corresponds to real estate or real property, and the associated rights and obligations thereon. The concept, idea or philosophy of property underlies all property law. In some jurisdictions, historically all property was owned by the monarch and it devolved through feudal land tenure or other feudal systems of loyalty and fealty.

Under this ordi- nance General Arthur St. Clair was appointed governor of the territory, and, in 1790, organized by proclamation, the county of St. Clair, named in honor of himself. To understand the boundaries defined in this and subsequent proclamations, and in early legislative acts setting up counties in the Northwest Territory, Indiana Territory and the terri- tory of Illinois, it is necessary to know the geographical location of a number of points not found on modern maps of Illinois. Some of these points are: The “Little Michilimackinack;” The Mackinaw River flowing into the Illinois four or five miles below Pekin in Tazwell County.

Here's some reference info on it. (I'm not sure if the graphics from the original made it through the cut-and-paste process..... Public Land Survey SystemFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search [edit] Non-PLSS regionsThe system is in use in some capacity in most states, but not in Hawaii and Texas or any of the territory under the jurisdiction of the Thirteen Colonies at the time of independence, with the exception of the area that became the Northwest Territory and some of the Southern states. These exclusions are now Georgia, Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia. Major exceptions to the application of this system in the remaining states: California, before statehood in 1850, surveyed only the boundaries of Spanish land grants (ranchos); since statehood the PLSS system has been used mostly throughout. Hawaii adopted a system based on the Kingdom of Hawaii native system in place at the time of annexation. Louisiana recognizes early French and Spanish descriptions called arpents, particularly in the southern part of the state, as well as PLSS descriptions.

  • Geographical Positions of Base Lines and Principal Meridians Governing the Public Surveys”
    40 THE JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHY January intervals, proving in many cases extremely destructive, those especially noted being in 1713, 1738, 174R, 1793, 1819, 1837, and the latest in 1898, the details of which are well remembered in its destructive effects in Porto Rico, as well as in the adjacent islands. GEOGRAPHICAL POSITIONS OF BASE LINES AND PRINCIPAL MERIDIANS GOVERNING THE PUBLIC SURVEYS” BY WILLIAM G. RAYMOND. HE system of rectangular surveying, authorized by law May 20, 1785, was first employed in the survey of United T States public lands in the state of Ohio. The boundary line between the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio, known as “Elliott’s line,” in longitude 80” 32‘ 20” west from Green- wich, is the meridian to which the first surveys are referred. The townships east of the Scioto River, in the state of Ohio, are numbered from south to north, commencing with No. 1 on the Ohio River, while the ranges are numbered from east to west, beginning with No. 1 on the east boundary of the state, except in the tract designated “U. S. military land,” in which the townships and ranges are numbered, respectively, from the south and east boundaries of said tract. During the period of one hundred and nine years since the organ- ization of the system df rectangular surveying, numbered and locally named principal meridians and base lines have been established, w follows : The fird principal meridian begins at the junction of the Ohio and Big Miami rivers, extends north on the boundary line between the states of Ohio and Indiana, and roughly approximates to the meridian of longitude 84” 48‘ 50” west from Greenwich.
