Hello: I have collected some of the old surveys for lands in Virginia. They were done in the 1700's using metes and bounds. "N30W 100 poles to a white oak sapling, etc." What system does VA now use as a legal land description? Has VA adopted a rectangular survey system of some type? ____________________________________________________________________________________ The fish are biting.
