What is this map showing as running under this house? (disclosures, properties)

[ImmerLernen]

When I click on the map for this real estate listing, I see some light-colored lines running through the area, including directly under this property:

How do I find out what that indicates? It doesn't look like either flood areas or energy pipelines. The closest pipelines I could identify are something like a half mile away.

Have you tried asking the listing agent? What about searching for other "map views" of this listing? A different legend might define it.

Before making an offer, look at the disclosures.

AFTER making an offer, look for exceptions on the title report.

Asking might work. An important easement not mentioned in the disclosures would be good cause for canceling the contract.

I don't think it looks like an easement for anything.

It may be a city, county, township or neighborhood area boundary.

There are roads and property boundaries that line up with it as far as you want to scroll, indicating old section lines.

If it were in my area, I'd be able to tell more but I'd start by looking at county and assessor maps and boundaries.

I'm not seeing the map but I'm guessing water and sewer lines.

The city building department ought to be able to tell you.

He's talking about the map insert on the website above. If you click that you can go to larger view and there's light shaded lines that run through and near the property.

But yes, the city or county building dept could tell you for sure.

I like the map this place offers. Click on the Flood option and the Satellite option for a better view.

If you go to the Rogers County OK GIS map and search for parcel 660098479, you can pick the various layers you wish to see as it covers, goes through, overlays and around that property. They can be indicators of Sections, Township, Range, census tracts, school districts, census boundaries, deeded road easements, frack lines, etc. You just have to figure out what label pops up for it as you click on other items.

By playing with the map, looks like that color change is where several reportable layers overlap which cause a swatch to appear as something. Example, your township lines and census lines may not align causing what appears to be some boundary indicator like a corridor of something.

Looks like an artifact of the map. Those lines don't show up on regular Google maps.

Switching the map to satellite view it appears the straight lines you are concerned about do line up with physical entities. I suggest they are probably power line (electric) easements and what is seen on satellite view are the mowed easements on farm or commercial properties. Powerline easements do go across residential property and prevent you growing tall trees underneath for example.

Most older neighborhoods have these somewhere.
