What is the definition regarding Mineral rights to strip and gore?

Answer 1

"Strip problem is most often encountered in a land-use subdivision situation. These subdivisions often require a potential lessee to deal with issues caused by streets, cul-de-sacs, and a host of utility easements. Not only will development, as either a practical or legal matter or both, be foreclosed within these areas, title to the minerals beneath roads may be in doubt. Fortunately, in many cases, the streets and cul-de-sacs are deemed to be mere easements or rights-of-way with underlying title belonging to the owners of lots burdened by these encumbrances.108 Accordingly, in the instance of two lots on opposite sides of a street, the lot owners would most likely own the underlying possessory interest, including the minerals, to the center of the street.109 While this does not resolve the subdivision problem, it does avoid the creation of a grid of mineral interests under the ownership of local government." "Under this doctrine the conveyance of a larger tract that is specifically described in the granting clause of the instrument is construed as conveying an adjacent small strip of land that is owned by the grantor but not expressly included in the land description in the deed. The doctrine is based upon the presumption that the grantor did not intend to retain small strips of acreage that would be of no practical use to the grantor, or in other words, that the grantor intended to convey the strip but inadvertently omitted it from the land description.114 The strip or acreage in question is often a road right-of-way that is not specifically included in the described land. Or the strip may be acreage that was acquired by the grantor by adverse possession, acquiescence, or accretion but was not included in the description because the land description was not part of the record chain of title.
