What is the purpose of a parcel hook?
Mapping Center Answer:
I won't pretend to know everything a Parcel Hook might be used to represent, but what I learned was that they're used to denote parcels that were once of the same larger parcel. This use wouldn't be as generally applied, so for instance a subdivision plan from a very large lot would not be where a parcel hook would appear. But when one of those planned parcels gets split at some point in the future, then a parcel hook would be applied.

We use parcel hooks to show parcels that are owned by one owner but are split by something such as a stream or a roadway. The 'hook' would lay across a roadway for example to connect a parcel on one side of the road to a parcel on the other side.

Another instance where parcel hooks are used is to denote separate but adjoining tax lots that are owned by the same party.
