A base map coextensive with the boundary of the cadastral project covering the entire municipality drawn in a convenient scale on drafting film or other stable transparent materials in the same size as a cadastral map and showing other pertinent information as required by the Manual of Procedures.

• A. Municipal Boundary and Index Map
• B. Cadastral Map
• C. Digital (Softcopy) Maps
• D. Orthophoto Map

Answer: (A)

This item tests the Municipal Boundary and Index Map as the base map for cadastral projects. This map is drawn to cover the entire municipality, coextensive with the cadastral project boundary, and prepared on drafting film or another stable transparent material in the same size as the cadastral map. It also includes other information required by the Manual of Procedures. The purpose is to provide a consistent reference frame that shows the official municipal boundary and an index to parcels, so the cadastral work can be accurately located, aligned, and connected to administrative limits. The other options don’t fit this role: a cadastral map focuses on the parcels themselves, an orthophoto map provides imagery, and digital (softcopy) maps refer to the digital version rather than the physical base map used in field procedures.
