1. RE: [DMU] How to enter a plot [1]
Jim, If you only had a plot with just the lengths, you can't enter it into Deed Mapper. However, in your examples, you provided the lengths and their directions, so you DO know the order. If you had a scaled drawing without angles but "North" (or any other direction) was shown, you should be able to enter the description into Deed Mapper. You could record the property description either "clockwise" or "counterclockwise" and as long as it describes a closed area ("closes") and doesn't cross itself, you k
2. RE: [DMU] How to enter a plot [1]
To those who have been working with South Carolina plat maps. Thanks for your replies. It is nice to know that I am not alone with this problem. Margaret and Lee, Thanks for your comments. Jan, The whole point of my example is to show that just because you know the length and direction of all three lines, you DON'T know the order. Each example has the same lines but a different order and if you enter the two examples into Deed Mapper you'll see that you don't get the same plot. No, I don't have a co

Marilyn, Thanks for the reference. I'll see if I can find it through interlibrary loan or on my next trip to South Carolina.

4. [DMU] Re: DEED-MAPPER-USERS-D Digest V03 #62 [1]
Mr. Barrett, You are of course correct in saying that getting a new plat map would not correct the orientation problem. I understood you to say that the maps you are using with DeedMapper were not always oriented as up being north, and that's why I said what I did. I'm working just across the river in Elbert & Hart Co. GA, and those don't have a north arrow either. I have seen one on the occasional grant plat. Still, the direction of the lines will in fact tell you the orientation although knowing wher
5. RE: [DMU] Re: DEED-MAPPER-USERS-D Digest V03 #60 [1]
Mr. Clark, I believe what I said was that the plat maps, as recorded in the State of South Carolina plat books, do not indicate north on the individual plats, and that north was not always up on these plats. Obtaining another copy of the plat maps from the state would not correct this.

7. [DMU] How to enter a plot [1]
I am working with plat maps for Greenville Co., SC. The plat maps shows the lengths of the sides of a piece of property and the direction of the side, but the plat does not show which way is north. The top of the map is not north. When I am entering the description of the property should I go clockwise or counter clockwise. Please check out the following two samples: 1. ! ! Abstracting info. ! Metes and bounds. "Beginning at..." Pt Ln W; 90C; Pt Ln N30E; 90C; Pt Ln S30E; 90C; End 2.

9. RE: [DMU] How to enter a plot [1]
Jim, Your two examples appear unambiguous to me but they describe two different parcels. You should be able to describe either by going clockwise or counter clockwise -- it does not matter. You can describe the first parcel by "walking" the perimeter in a counterclockwise manner: Pt Ln N30W; 90C; Pt Ln S30W; 90C; Pt Ln E; 90C; Pt -----Original Message----- From: Jim Barrett [mailto:parino@flash.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 4:58 PM To: DEED-MAPPER-USERS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [DMU] How to ente
10. Re: [DMU] Item Numbers [1]
I can't tell you what you are doing wrong but I would suggest you go to table view and see what is displayed. I have a feeling you will find items 1 through 9 displayed. If this is true then delete items 1,3,4 6 7,8 and you will have the correct table view display. You can delete an item by highlighting the item in table view to be deleted then click edit>> click delete.

11. Re: [DMU] How to enter a plot [1]
I'm surprised at the difficulty of establishing orientation of plats. In my work with South Carolina plats I had no sense of an orientation problem even though most plats don't provide the north direction and even then you don't know if it was magnetic or true north. It was normal practice for the DS to label the metes and bounds of a line from left to right even when standing upside down relative to the page. If you simply pick a corner to the left of a label in the direction of writing (say N45E, 25C) and

Hello all, I am a brand new user and just trying to enter my first deeds. For some reason, they are not entering in order of 1, 2, 3 etc. My first one is item 2, the second is item 5, and the third one is item 9. What am I doing wrong? Can you tell me how to correct this? Thanks, Nancy in Texas

This may be a hard one to explain--along the bottom of the window border, there are some fields or boxes for information from some of the program fields. For instance, for me, on the left, it says: For Help, press F1 next box the date of the highlighted tract shows next box is empty next box shows the information from the To field next box is the area of the tract (sq ft) next one empty next shows NUM What field would show up in the second box?

15. RE: [DMU] How to enter a plot [1]
Jim, My experience with plats in Laurens Co., SC (650 plats) is that a directional arrow (N-S) on the plat is seldom shown. As a result it is impossible to tell the orientation of the plat from the plat description. What occasionally works is to locate an adjacent plat (or plats) whose orientations is known and use it to guide you. Lee Adair************************************************* W.

new subscriber to the list. I would love to plat several deeds using deed mapper, however I'm a mac user and do not own any pc emulation software. is anyone on-list willing to help out any? are there *any* future plans to cross platform? I know I asked the same question of the software co about 2-3 years ago... [answer: no] thanks. kirby in NC kirbz@northstate.net
17. Re: [DMU] How to enter a plot [1]
It sounds like most SC surveyors did not bother to indicate a north orientation on their plats. I've done about 1200 plats in the Orangeburgh District and very, very few have north indicated. I have wondered though, if this is due to the surveyors leaving off the necessary notation or mark or was this something omitted by the clerks who made copies of the plats that SC researchers get to look at. I have not looked at very many original plats to find out....has anyone else working with SC plats seen many
18. [DMU] Re: DEED-MAPPER-USERS-D Digest V03 #60 [1]
Mr. Barrett, You said that on your map up was not north. All the lines in a plat are given relative to north simply because the compass is magnetic. Most maps are oriented so that up is north, and I think DeedMapper makes this assumption. If your map isn't oriented properly, then you need to get a new map or turn the one you have so that up is north. Barry Clark Fredericksburg, VA
19. RE: [DMU] Fields [1]
Yes, that's exactly what Bill said. It's the From field. And I finally did notice that it changes depending on the view. Thank you both. I must have been in Never Never Land when I last tried to monkey around with this field a few months ago--it's showing up just fine now if I put something in the From field. The tracts I map are all from the Commonwealth of Pa. or the Land Office so I never put anything in that field. I guess I can't control everything! Thanks everyone, Marie. >-----Original Messag

A helpful book on this subject is Pett-Conklin, Linda Marie, Cadastral Suveying in Colonial South Carolina: A Historical Georgraphy. Louisiana State University, PHD 1986. Ann Arbor, MI: University Microfilms International, c 1987. I obtained a copy through interlibrary loan. There is a discussion of compass orientations on plats. She says there were no official policies in SC - so the surveyor had great control. There is a section on compass orientations used by the surveyors. She says that in the ea
