Description
We recognize the doctrine extensively discussed in Stover v. Gilbert, 112 Tex. 429, 247 S.W. 841, 844, that meander lines, as a rule, relate to the sinuosities and course of a stream and do not constitute boundaries. This is so, says the Court, "in the absence of proof to clearly indicate a contrary intention * * *. 11 C.J.S., Boundaries, 30, pages 573, 574. Here, as is evident from the testimony of Mr. Forrest (see footnote 2, original opinion), his survey was of "the top bank of the river"; establishing on the ground "a series of lines or meanders, as they are called, which would follow the high bank of the Trinity River; and wherever a bend in the river occurred there, an angle point would be established on these meander lines." In other words, that the meander lines of the Forrest Survey and River bank meanders were coincidental.
