What is a two-dimensional map showing the metes and bounds of a surveyed parcel and other pertinent information?

A survey plan is a two-dimensional depiction that translates the land’s metes-and-bounds into a flat drawing, showing the exact boundaries, distances, and directions of a surveyed parcel along with other key details. It communicates the size, shape, and location of the lot on a plan, including boundary lines, bearings and lengths, lot and block identifiers, area, and often related information such as monuments, adjacent parcels, and certification by the surveyor. This combination of precise boundary data and a diagram on a plane is what makes a survey plan the best fit for describing a parcel in a clear, shareable format. The other options don’t fit this role: a projection map relates to projecting geographic data rather than detailing a specific parcel’s boundaries; Parcel Information Sheets are data records rather than a plotted boundary diagram; a Reference Point is just a fixed survey marker, not a map.
