Navigate to "My Maps." Select the map you want to edit, or [create a new map](https://support.id.land/interactive-maps#how-to-make-map).

Make sure that Parcel labels are turned off. 

Click the "Boundary" shape in the feature palette to reveal the deed drawer option in the upper right hand corner.

**Tip:** You can also access the "Deed Drawer" button by clicking on an existing boundary, allowing you to adjust or add calls as necessary.

Click on your map to start creating your boundary.  

**Tip:** If you are not sure where to start your boundary, approximate the starting point, and you can adjust the location upon completing the drawing.

Choose your Distance Units at the top of the deed drawer tool

**Tip:** Make sure you are using the correct measurement units. Keep in mind the descriptions can contain multiple units. If you need to convert measurements, we recommend this[**Conversion Tool**](https://www.unitconverters.net/length-converter.html).

Set the first Arc by inputting calls in, starting with directions (North or South).

Direction: Enter "n" for North or "s" for South

Continue putting in your deed call by entering Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds.

Continue putting in your deed call by entering  direction (East or West) and distance.

Direction: Enter "e" for East or "w" for West

**Tip:** Keep track of calls to ensure you do not enter calls twice or lose your spot.

Continue adding deed calls by clicking "Add New Arc Here" button and repeating the direction and distance entry for each boundary point.

Optional: Click on curve icon to create a curved segment to your boundary.

Choose a right or left curve direction based on your description.

Provide two values for the curve. Available options include: Chord, Arc Length, Delta Angle and Radius.

**Tip:** If you need to adjust the curves, or if your description includes it, you can add detailed chord data in the "Advanced options" dropdown.

**Tip:** Doublecheck the accuracy of each call entry for precise boundary representation.

After accurately defining the property's boundaries with deed calls, click "Finish" to save the deed drawing.

**Tip:** Click the "Generate Report" button to generate a PDF report of the deed drawing, calls and a closure value, indicating the distance and angle of the closing error (if any).

If you need to adjust the location of your deeded boundary, you can move the boundary in its entirety.

Then you can click and drag your boundary right where you need it to be.

Click the "Save as" button to name and save your map.
