What is the primary purpose of the system for identifying survey plans?

• A. To standardize survey equipment used in cadastral surveys
• B. To classify and identify all kinds of surveys for efficient recording, filing, and recordkeeping
• C. To help geodetic engineers select appropriate survey methods
• D. To establish control points for surveying projects in isolated regions

Answer: (B)

Classification and indexing of survey plans to streamline recording, filing, and recordkeeping. A uniform identification system ensures every plan—whether cadastral, topographic, or other types—carries a consistent reference, making it easy to locate in archives, link to titles and approvals, and retrieve when needed. This standardization supports clear, accessible records over time and helps avoid confusion across agencies. The other options relate to how surveys are conducted—equipment standards, method selection, or establishing control points—not to how plans are identified and filed.
