Fascinating, thank you!

I find it interesting that the boundaries are defined by a combination of physical land features and other property boundaries.

I guess this means that there's the error could potentially accumulate when you reference against property boundaries. Then you come up against some physical reference and have to resolve the inconsistency somehow.

And on top of the fact that a lot of boundaries outside the city have been low resolution for a long time (land grants may have been from like.. 1902 for some farmer with 400 acres, and then just parceled over time with no further survey). The fact that I shifted everyone 140' by pinning my one line shows how it can be, and I'd bet there are areas that are worse because they're less developed / further out / nobody cared to ask).

TBH, looking into the history of surveying in the US is fascinating. The level of accuracy they were able to achieve over such long distances so long ago is awesome. I fell deep down this rabbit hole when I started flying a LIADR unit on a drone and working with PLS.
