• A. Cadastral Surveys
• B. Graphical Surveys
• C. Conversion Surveys
• D. Field Surveys

Answer: (C)

Conversion surveys focus on turning graphical cadastral surveys, such as CADM and PCADM, into numerical or regular cadastral lots. This means taking the plan-based representation of parcels and assigning a unique lot number to each parcel so the map becomes a grid of numbered lots used for titles and records. It’s not about making new measurements or redefining boundaries; it’s about converting the graphical depiction into a parcel-based numbering system. The broader cadastral surveys encompass establishing boundaries and producing the cadastral plan; graphical surveys are the plan-level drawings without numerical designations; field surveys involve on-site measurements to determine or verify boundaries.
