Plain English Explanation
In attempting to identify a specific parcel of land, the courts will examine its description and use clues from the description to come to a final decision. There are generally many types of ways to identify a specific parcel, so courts prioritize a hierarchy of which types of identifiers prevail over others. The order of priority is:
(1) Natural Monuments, for example, "From the old oak tree to the waterfall."
(2) Artificial Monuments, for example, "From the stake to the McDonalds."
(3) Courses (meaning "angles"), for example, "North 30 degrees to Main Street."
(4) Distances, for example "100 feet North from Main Street."
(5) Quantity, which means either a specific parcel (or parcels), or a size of a parcel.
