I have a contractor/friend who likes to quickly/roughly locate property corners for obvious reasons and I showed him an app I thought was cool (iOS in my case) called Regrid.?ÿ It accesses county database info in real space.?ÿ I'm sure there are a lot of these apps but he's been impressed with how well it can guide him quite closely to corner locations (and possibly their associated monuments).?ÿ I don't know how it can be better than their usually +/-10m GIS info available online but he swears it consistently gets him into the 3m range as he walks about the land.?ÿ I haven't verified it but might be worth a go.
As others have noted here the "TN State Grid" noted in note 12 is a ref to the Tennessee State Plane Coordinate system.?ÿ Although that's unambiguous to a surveyor it's unlikely that that coordinate itself would help you find anything on the ground unless you have a working knowledge of SPC and access to software or tabulated data (and probably hardware) to guide you.
I could tell from the resolution of the plat what monuments were set vs not set but that would be important for a walking locate.?ÿ I also agree that the map's a little incomplete.?ÿ I see one corner not noted as to it's reality beyond the line table info, which would be lower in the heirarchy of "evidence" if it were the only available evidence.?ÿ The deed would help you out in those areas.
I also found it strange (IMHO) that they call out a monumented, dark lined flag portion as an "access & utility easement".?ÿ It's likely not at all an easement if you own it, unless it serves another property - If it did, it would be required to be shown through the rest of the property how that's the case.?ÿ It'd be interesting to talk with Richmond Surveying Co.
