Legal Definition and Related Resources of Water’s Edge

A description in a deed of land granted thereby fixing its boundaries to water’s edge will generally act to convey title to and fix the boundaries of land by the center of the thread of the body of water or water course if grantor’s title extends thereto. See Rollan v Posey, 271 Ala. 640, 126 So.2d464; also Fulton Light, Heat and P. Co. v State, 200 N. Y. 400, 94 N.E. 199. However, where the description fixes the boundary of the lands conveyed along the bank or shore of a body of water, as opposed to having the boundary touching the water or along the water or by the water, land under water is excluded from the conveyance. See Rockwell v Baldwin, 53 III. 19.
