If I was trying to establish the boundary of the plat I would look at the legal description of the plat and the adjoining plat for clues in how it was laid out. If the description is metes and bounds it may suggest to hold the plat dimensions, if it is a section subdivision but the lots are all regular that may suggest that prorating between both blocks is justified.?ÿ You could look for clues to the E/W also to establish the line.?ÿ
I would question how did the vacated street become part of the other plat, could be that both plats were portions of the same persons property?ÿ
?ÿ
I don't have the patience to try to understand the details here without a map. The rule you were taught is only applicable if it doesn't lead you to ignore the best available evidence of where the boundary is. I can imagine scenarios where it would.?ÿ
Would be wondering how the surveyor to the south did what he did without crossing over into your plat?????
The only time the addition of a couple of tenths creates a problem is when someone ends up pregnant. ?????ÿ
It appears you may be the first to put forth a solution for your block.?ÿ Do your best and roll on.?ÿ Who can prove you are wrong?
Do your best and roll on isn't bad advice, but the question of how to do your best still needs to be answered.?ÿ?ÿ
Not all final answers can be based on as much data as one would prefer.?ÿ It doesn't exist.?ÿ One must learn how to deal with that reality.
In other words, no guts, no glory.
If there were always enough data to arrive at exact, unique answers, anybody could do it.?ÿ That is why we get paid the big bucks.?ÿ To absorb the risk of having someone else come along at some future date to debate the solution we chose.
I am not a fan of rigid application of rules.
I write a manifesto and I want nothing, yet I say certain things, and in principle I am against manifestoes, as I am also against principles.

@james-fleming A lady on Facebook said she was married to a Fascist then a Leftist.
She complained that neither one of them WOULD TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE!
What kind of world do we live in?
One where far too many have no concept of cardinal directions.
The fascist should take out the garbage for the glory of the household.?ÿ The leftist I could see wallowing in it though, yeah.?ÿ ????ÿ
