Which term refers to a two-dimensional map showing the metes and bounds of a surveyed parcel and other pertinent information?

• A. Field Sketch
• B. Boundary Plan
• C. Survey Plan
• D. Location Diagram

Answer: (C)

A Survey Plan is the formal two-dimensional map that shows the metes and bounds of the surveyed parcel along with other pertinent information. It includes precise measurements and directions for each boundary, as well as details like area, corner coordinates, monuments, references to adjacent parcels, ties to control points, and notes or encumbrances. This makes it an official record of the survey suitable for legal and administrative purposes.

A field sketch is just a rough in-field drawing used during the survey process and isn’t intended to serve as a formal, legally descriptive document. A boundary plan may describe boundaries but doesn’t necessarily contain the full metes-and-bounds details and supporting data found in a complete survey plan. A location diagram is mainly a locator map showing where the parcel sits in a larger area, not the detailed boundary description.
