I have scanned and temporarily uploaded to the above site a plat that I
very much need to enter into my DeedMapper file. I do not have text to the
plat. I have before deedmapped the old plat of this tract of land (& more)
but I need very much to locate this "Old Road Bed" today on a map. The
plat is Virginia about 1960, but I don't know how to determine the distance
unit. I started entering the old road bed, beginning lower left and going
north. I used "poles" but that is obviously much to large, compared to
other deeds I have entered. The shape of the old road bed turned out the
same, just upside down.

Many thanks for any suggestions. Below is DeedMappers descriptions of
distance units.

"...point, for example, white oak tree. After the Ln you enter the
direction followed by a semicolon, then the distance and a semicolon, for
example N23E; 112p; This information should come directly from the
deed. In this case the distance unit is p for poles. Use f for foot, c
for chain, r for rod. Type a new line beginning with Pt and enter the
corner description, then a line beginning with Ln with another direction
and distance. Continue adding lines beginning with Pt and Ln until the
survey returns to the starting point. The last line of the deed text
should be End."
