A line must run from one point to another and a line must terminate at a point. You can not have point point and you can not have line line. If you have a boundary that runs north for 50 rods, at the end of that 50 rods there is a point, even if isn't described in the description.

When I was using the DOS version of this software, and had old 1800 information from KY, I found that many a plot was not as the software said it was supposed to be. Since many of the primitive plots found in the court house probably did not have the accuracy that we have today. Once I closed the plot, then did some creative ways with the rest of the lines, it was easier to figure out how the piece really looked, and exactly as they had diagramed it in the original court records.
