Under DMC 2010-13, the standard scale for survey maps is?

Scale shows how map distances relate to real-world distances. At a 1:1000 scale, one unit on the map represents 1000 units on the ground, giving a relatively large, detailed view that is ideal for surveying parcels, boundaries, roads, and building footprints. This level of detail is needed for precise measurements and legal descriptions, yet the maps are still compact enough to be practical for plan sets and field work. Scales larger than this would produce unwieldy, very detailed sheets, while smaller scales would omit important cadastral details. That balance is why 1:1000 is used as the standard for survey maps in DMC 2010-13.
