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

• A. Survey Plan
• B. Isolated Surveys
• C. Cadastre
• D. Survey Return

Answer: (A)

A survey plan is the graphic record created by a surveyor that shows the exact boundaries of a parcel. It presents the lot in plan view, with the boundary lines defined by metes and bounds—distances and directions between fixed points or monuments. It also includes other important details such as the parcel identifier, area, bearings and distances, adjoining parcels, easements, encroachments, and reference points. This combination makes it the precise, official drawing used to convey ownership and anchor the legal description. The term cadastre refers to the land register and ownership information rather than the drawing of the parcel; isolated surveys pertain to surveying a single parcel but not necessarily as the formal plan with all measured details; survey returns are the reports submitted to authorities that accompany surveys, not the map itself.
