What is the minimum scale of a land survey map as specified in DAO 2007-29?

The concept here is about the minimum scale required for a land survey map and why standards set a lower bound on how coarse the map can be drawn. DAO 2007-29 specifies that the map should not be coarser than 1:1000. This means scales like 1:1000, 1:500, or 1:100 (which show more detail) are acceptable, but a map at 1:5000 would not meet the minimum requirement because it’s too coarse and could omit important cadastral details. Using 1:1000 as the minimum ensures enough detail to accurately depict parcel boundaries, monuments, bearings, distances, and tie points while keeping the plan legible and standardized.
