I love the description in this office survey from 1904 in Polk County, Texas. I wonder if I would break any board rules if I used the distance "far enough" when I re-survey this tract?
I think the described intent is sufficient to establish the boundary. Not a description I would ever sign, though.

Probably not after you calculate what "far enough" was. We have lots of those up here in Cherokee County. My dad, from Livingston, said surveying in Polk County wasn't much different than up here. Call Joe Dan and get his take. 🙂
The intent that the deed is for 50 acres is clear and provides what is necessary to survey the land.
Not unlike the many I've seen thru the years that was probably made before an actual survey.
They buyer and seller may have measured the extents.
