Another land dispute, Farmer vs State

[Streetcar]

As a land surveyor I’d like to know what a surveyor found and if there is a differing opinion. It shoukd be a black and white issue where the boundary line is but often it’s not.

I’d also say they own the ground by adverse possession. There seems to be a mistaken belief that you can’t get adverse possession against the government but it’s not true. What happens is regular people can’t afford to fight it through the court system so the government wins by default.

Many states don’t allow adverse possession of government land

Like I say that is a misconception. In almost all cases the government wins more because they can grind an individual down. There is some case law where people won against the government In adverse possession.
