When a person owns land, that land has boundaries which separates land he owns and pays taxes on from other people's land or government owned land. This land is outlined by surveyors who outline the exact measurements and recorded in the local tax office by lot and block (some area's use different terminology). His land is, using a metaphor, an island.
I'm not sure what you think you understand, but at a practical level, it sounds like what you understand is incorrect.
the metes and bounds plat dimensions of the bundy ranch has no bearing on this matter. what does matter is that the rancher's cattle improperly grazed on the land of another without permission and payment. in short, he stole federal assets from the American public. and now it is time for him to both pay his delinquent obligation and to discontinue grazing on federal lands without authorization
