Public Land Survey is the process that covers the original surveys of lands still in the public domain and that are alienable and disposable—lands not yet subjected to private rights and not set aside for public use under the public land laws. In DENR DAO 2007-29, this category specifically describes the initial laying out of parcels, monuments, and boundaries for lands that will later be patented or titled, before private rights or public-use reservations affect them. The other survey types serve different purposes: amendment surveys adjust or redefine boundaries of land that has already been surveyed or is already owned; isolated surveys deal with parcels lacking a prior reference in the cadastre; and private land surveys pertain to lands already in private ownership or not part of the public domain. So the best match for original surveys of alienable and disposable lands not yet encumbered by private rights or public use is the Public Land Survey.
