Property lines from a century of renaming
Gulfport's lot lines trace back through the town's several identities, Barnett's Bluff, Bonifacio, Disston City, and Veteran City, before its 1910 incorporation, meaning older parcels here can have surveying quirks left over from more than one platting era. Few nearby towns changed their own name quite this many times before settling on one.
What that platting history means for a fence project
Confirming actual property boundaries before installing a fence matters more in a neighborhood with Gulfport's layered surveying history than in a uniformly platted subdivision. Skipping a survey on an older Gulfport lot is how boundary disputes start.
