Once you've identified the calls and corners on your deed or land grant, create a chart or list of the calls for easy reference. Check off each line or corner on the photocopy as you work to help prevent errors. This list should always begin with a corner (the beginning point in the deed) and alternate corner, line, corner, line:
beginning corner - lightwood post (Stephenson corner) line - N79E, 258 poles corner - scrubby white oak (Thomas Doles) line - N5E, 76 poles corner - white oak line - NW, 122 poles corner - pine (Joseph Turners corner) line - N7E, 50 poles corner - turkey oak line - N72W, 200 poles corner - dead white oak (Stephenson) line - by Stephenson's line to beginning
