The section describing a base map, the estimated number of control points, and proposed leveling activities is best described as which plan?

• A. 1st Order - 50 kilometers, 2nd Order - 25 kilometers
• B. Geodetic Control Work Plan
• C. Technical Plan
• D. 2nd and 3rd Order

Answer: (C)

Planning the technical aspects of a surveying project involves detailing the data products and fieldwork needed to execute the project. Describing a base map, the estimated number of control points, and the proposed leveling activities fits this because it lays out the concrete technical framework: what map will guide the work, how many reference points will anchor the network, and how elevation data will be collected. This goes beyond just a narrow focus on control networks and covers the overall technical approach to field operations and data gathering. A Geodetic Control Work Plan would concentrate specifically on establishing and maintaining the geodetic control network, not the full set of technical details like the base map and leveling plan. The other options don’t describe a plan type: one is just numerical specifications, and the other points to a broader or different scope, so the Technical Plan best captures the described section.
