A right of way is clearly one form of easement, in any state. In fact, a
right of way is a "classic" example of an easement.


An easement is the right to use another's property in some fashion. It
can be express, or implied, and can be written or gain through "use" over
a period of years.



Some easements will show up in deeds, some in surveys, and some in the
public records, and some are not well-documented.

A good real estate lawyer can answer the specific questions that you have in
your state.
