1889 GOVERNMENT MEANDER LINE Sample Clauses
The 1889 Government Meander Line clause defines the legal boundary of a property as established by the original government survey meander line from 1889, rather than the current water's edge. In practice, this means that property rights and land descriptions are based on the surveyed line, even if the shoreline has changed due to natural processes like erosion or accretion. This clause provides certainty and stability in property boundaries adjacent to bodies of water, preventing disputes that could arise from shifting shorelines.
