Looking for description help

Was the island ever meandered by the BLM or GLO? If so I would simply reference the official field notes. My preference is to reference previous surveys whenever practicle. Maybe something like "thence along the existing mean high water line as described in the official field notes [quotation], approved [date]. Unless there is good reason beyond computing an area I try and avoid excessively long descriptions. "The true boundary being the existing mean high water line with meanders used only for area computation purposes", or something like that.

Good thought, but never meandered. BLM plat uses quad map so no record meanders available.

I did the meanders for the first half mile or so out of division line, just trying to figure out how to make intent clear as a bell. Hate to transition from defined to - ‰ÛÏ in a northerly direction along mean high water‰Û but it may be the only way.

Is this the entire island being cut into two pieces? Does the island have a name? Can you think of a unique way to identify the division line between the two portions? If so, can it simply be described as: All that part of Bat Scat Island lying northerly of a line described as....................................... and All that part of Bat Scat Island lying southerly of a ....................................................?

Yes, exactly that. I like your wording, may use part of it.

Is there a Guano Mine there?

I hear there's BIG MONEY in Guano...

You can use lat and long or state plane coordinates to describe the points with a bearing between them and call for all of the part lying east and west or whatever lying above the mean high water mark.
