Recent new neighbor had his land surveyed.

Creeks are nice, BUT here's mine after a cloudburst the Summer before last after a big rain. Highest I've seen and I've been here almost 36 years. This photo is my neighbor's property, on my property the creek has pretty high banks so just got deeper, neighbor had no bad damage but lots of mud and some landscaping washed away. A mobile home down the road was destroyed not from the creek but from water from a culvert under the highway above it, washed the rock down the hillside through his window.

Good place to string up a hammock for an afternoon nap.

Edit... I'm referring to the creek, not the above photo

Well that is a good spot for a stone fireplace!

Nice piece of land that you have there.
One of my brother in laws had his land surveyed a while back.
His neighbors wife had complained that he was parking his boat trailer on her property. He had been planning to add a guest house on his lot but wasn’t sure exactly where the line was. Turns out that he owns about a third of the neighbor’s yard. And the steps to her front porch are on his lot.

There's been a lot of problems around where we live with bad surveys. It's been said that the original surveyor
was an alcoholic and really messed things up from the start so that surveys now find neighbors land in the middle of
a township road or in the farmers field next door. The county is loathe to address this problem and it has caused a
number of law suits. My neighbor and I have had our land surveyed twice just to be certain where our property lines
are. One neighbor found out his barn is half on the other neighbors property and there is a bitter law suit in progress
over that. He wants to purchase enough land from his neighbor to be legal and the other guy smells money and wants
an exorbitant amount.

First home we bought was involved in a legal issue over a fence location when we sold it. The fence belonged to a neighbor near end of our property and was found to be on my side by 3 feet. The lender of the folks buying our place would not settle until the fence was moved.
The neighbor would not move it over so when the surveyor came back to re-certify the issue I had a police officer standing by while I rolled the fence back for the survey.
All I wanted was the paperwork done so as to complete the sale.

I was a realtor for a short time, (I hated the job), but when there is someone else's fence on the property it is referred to as a "cloud on the title", and no mortgage company will settle until it's resolved.
