1. (a) Descriptions of tracts of land by reference to the United States public land surveys, other original pertinent surveys, or subdivisions are recognized as the basic and prevailing method for describing such tracts.

2. (b) If coordinates of the INPCS are used to describe a tract of land that, in the same document, is also described by reference to any subdivision, line, or corner of the United States public land surveys, other original pertinent surveys, or subdivisions:

   1. (1) the description by coordinates must be construed as supplemental to the basic description of the subdivision, line, or corner contained in the official plats and field notes filed of record; and
   2. (2) in the event of any conflict, the description by reference to the subdivision, line, or corner of the United States land surveys, other original pertinent surveys, or subdivisions prevails over the description by coordinates.
