fencelines

Edges between pastures

Fencelines are the boundaries marked by fences, particularly on rural or agricultural land where they separate properties, contain livestock, or divide different types of terrain.

The term emphasizes the linear path a fence takes across the landscape rather than the fence itself as a structure.

Fencelines often serve as reference points for land surveys, wildlife corridors, or property disputes.

We walked along the old fencelines to check for damage after the storm.
