Under Michigan law: Parties can establish a boundary line through long-standing recognition and treatment of a specific line as the property boundary. The required period for acquiescence is 15 years. An explicit agreement is not required; a tacit understanding based on historical practices can suffice.
How to Find the Property Lines for Your Land Check your deed. Check the official website for the assessor's office in your municipality. If you don't have a copy, and there's nothing available online, visit the county recorder's office or the assessor's office. Last but not least, hire a surveyor.

Look for physical markers on your property. Check your property deed. Check a plat map. Review your property survey.
Property markers, monuments or stakes are metal rods usually placed at every corner of the property, including any angle or change of direction of the boundary line. The location of each marker is typically shown on the plat map by lot.
Visit the appropriate county clerk's office or city government office in person. Locate the land records department or public access terminal (sometimes called a cadastral). Search by property address, legal description, or owner name (if known).

Here, Paul is reminding us there is a distinction, a boundary, between what good is, and what bad is. Good, and God, is like the light, and bad, or night, is like the darkness of our sin. God is very clear with us in scripture that boundaries are appropriate as they differentiate what is Godly, and what is evil.
