Explanation
Adverse possession can result in title ownership of the land. A prescriptive easement, while based on similar elements (open, notorious, hostile, continuous use for Oregon's statutory period), grants only the right to use the land in the specific manner exercised — not ownership. The underlying fee ownership remains with the landowner.
