I guess state to state there are differences in plats and plots and how it's surveyed..usually there is a 6ft or so 'utility easement' or an area along the side of a road where poles,ditches,water mains,sewer mains,etc can be run without interfering with existing properties or structures,fences, guy wires,etc..Power Co here had a pole on my property that carried electrical triplex feeding my garage and tapped off the pole it fed the neighbors house..The power company was replacing poles up and down the street and they came to my door asking where the property lines were,I showed them and asked how you are feeding the neighbors off a pole on my property..the engineer said they have 'prescriptive rights'- I calmly said thats bullsh@# and for them to move the pole over to the property line as it was in the way of my driveway and causing a hazard to everyone backing up..been hit twice..Came home following day from work,it was done..easy gentle persuasion works good sometimes
