This tool is for illustration only.

The Backstop Plotter generates an approximate graphical depiction of a legal description you provide. It is not a survey, is not prepared by a licensed land surveyor, and does not establish, locate, or verify any boundary line, corner, monument, acreage, or easement. Plots are mathematical renderings of the text you enter and do not account for calls to monuments, senior rights, adjoiner conflicts, gaps, overlaps, or errors in the underlying description.

Use of this tool does not create an attorney-client relationship, an insurer-insured relationship, or any escrow or agency relationship with Backstop, LLC or any affiliated person. Nothing produced by this tool is legal advice, a title opinion, a title commitment, or a determination of ownership or insurability.

For boundary determinations, retain a licensed Alabama professional land surveyor. For questions about the legal effect of a description or instrument, consult a licensed attorney. For title insurance, contact Backstop Title Company.

By using this tool you agree that Backstop, LLC makes no warranty of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose, and that you will not rely on any plot for purchase, construction, fencing, conveyance, financing, or dispute resolution.
