PlotMyDeed · free · nothing you type leaves your browser

Plot your deed. See your land.

Deeds and mining-claim certificates describe land in metes and bounds — “beginning at an iron pin, thence South 0°30′ West 660 feet…”. Type those calls into the form below and get a survey plat, the corner coordinates you can walk to, and a Google Earth file — with every calculation checked and every assumption declared.

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone. Rather have it done for you? Professional mapping services.

How it works

1 · Transcribe

Copy the bearings and distances from your document into the form below — or start from an example and swap in your own calls.

2 · Verify

The engine walks the description on the real curved Earth and runs five layers of checks: closure, acreage, statute, and more. A problem is reported, never hidden.

3 · Walk it

Download the plat, open the corners in Google Maps, or load the KML in Google Earth and stand on your boundary.

Your property fill in the form from your document — no special format to learn

Property / claim name

Type

Datum of the coordinates

Distance units

Bearings measured against

Where the description starts

Beginning at a point I have coordinates for (most deeds) Tie line from a monument (mining claims)

What marks the starting point

Latitude (decimal or DMS)

Longitude

Where the coordinates came from

Shortcut — paste the deed text, TerraTracer reads the calls

Fills the boundary rows below — always check each one against the document.

Boundary — each call in order, ending back at the start

Acres stated on the document (optional)

Bearings go in exactly as your document writes them: “S 0-30-00 W”, “N 89°30' W”, or an azimuth like “AZ 137.5”.

Could not read the description

Result

A description that fails its checks usually needs a professional eye — a misread call, a datum problem, or a boundary that was rough from the start. TerraMappix maps claims and parcels professionally.
