The metes and bounds description involves a method of describing a parcel of land by calls (course) and distances from an established beginning point and following boundary lines, either provided or given with terminal points and angles, back to the point of beginning.

# Place the center of the compass at the point of beginning of the line of course, designated as Point A in [[:File:Land-description-and-maps fig4.png|Figure 4a]], with the north and south line of the compass coinciding with the line selected to be the north and south line of the map. [Editor's note: A ''course'' is the combination of the direction and length of any particular line, such as "north 40° east, 200 ft."]
