What you're describing sounds more like eminent domain (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminent_domain https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminent_domain) Adverse Posession (aka Prescriptive Easement) addresses access in modern contexts. If a person owns land, that does not abut a public right-of-way, must traverse the public-adjacent land (that they do not own) for a defined period of time w/out interference, the right to access their land by this way can only be disrupted by the owner of the public-adjacent land providing an alternative path at their own expense. The person with the non-adjacent land can appeal to the courts for maintenance of existing access on this basis.
