The term 'point of beginning' is used in connection with a legal description by

The lot and block system uses a plat map to describe properties, identifying them by their designated lot number within a specific block. This method does not utilize a 'point of beginning' as it relies on a graphical representation of subdivisions, making it unsuitable for describing properties in the same manner as metes and bounds.

The government survey system (rectangular survey system) divides land into townships and sections using specific measurement techniques. While it provides a systematic way to describe land, it does not employ a 'point of beginning' in the context of specific property boundaries, as it is based on a grid rather than defined starting points.

A street address serves as a general location identifier for a property but does not provide detailed legal descriptions of boundaries or dimensions. Addresses lack the specificity and measurement criteria found in legal descriptions like metes and bounds, and therefore do not utilize a 'point of beginning.'
