Need satellite image with bearings...

[In-Yo-Grill]

I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to get Google Earth to give me a satellite image of a property showing the property boundary with bearings.

Any help with my brain fart is greatly appreciated.

I think you'll need a survey, to get the bearings.

Check to see if the county assessors office has geospatial information available to the public. Often times it can be found by google'ing

""county name" Tx ARCGIS"
Or ""county name" Tx GIS"

Often times, the counties require a membership or fee, or don't offer the information digitally at all.

I have a survey. I guess I could add them using paint or another program after printing the image from Google.

If you're trying to do what I think you are, you can enter the coordinates of the boundary as such in the search bar of GE:

37 25'19.07"N, 122 05'06.24"W

Then you can place a pin at that coordinate, and to the same for each one you have separately and then plot a line between to show the property boundary.

does the survey have lat/long coordinates and bearings/ distance?

In GE click the ruler up top then "path" you can draw your own lines. Better than nothing

County appraisal district website property search function then view gis map some counties will allow you to overlay with google earth.

Or HuntStand. It free and gives you I think 10 property inquiries a month that shows info on a parcel.... including ownership, acreage, and boundaries/property lines

This but dont trust 100%. I used for my recent purchase in Grayson County. It was off quite a bit I actually ended up with a lot more land then I thought I was getting after the survey was done.

We did this to map out our pond before it was dug. This was right after we bought the property. We wanted to dig a pond behind where our new house would be and use the dirt for the pad site of the new house. The house would be build at the same site of an old three-piece trailer home, which would be moved to another property.

The area was very heavily wooded with lots of underbrush, poison ivy and briars at the time and the area the new pond could be was limited by creeks. But the creeks didn't show up on Google Earth due to the amount of tree canopy cover.

So my wife and I went into the woods, machete in hand and covered in chigger and tick repellent. We marked trees with ribbon where we thought we wanted the pond boundaries based on sight distance from the creeks and took hand-held GPS coordinates of each marked tree.

Then we plotted those points on Google Earth and drew lines between them so we could see what we had. This gave us the confidence we needed to proceed.

Months later, after the necessary trees were removed and the pond was dug, it all came out as we had imagined. Much better than just going in there blindly and cutting down trees hoping for the best without a solid plan.



We did the same thing with property lines, locations of outbuildings that were partially hidden by trees and also planning for re-routing the driveway.

We took the Google Earth plotted image and enhanced it with Photohop Elements. (above) It was nice to be able to "see" it all in advance to make sure the outcome would be the way we wanted.

Everything turned out great!
