Not enough info to make a call. Is it called for in the original deed? Did you find any other evidence that either supports or rejects its location?...

@field-dog instances such as what?

The verbiage seems excessive to me. People discussing meridians, lat/long, etc. are putting too much thought into it. Simply put, a coordinate is no...

@field-dog I have seen some instances where people have used negative coordinates.
