A survey plan is the two-dimensional drawing produced from field measurements that shows the exact boundaries of a parcel using metes and bounds, with distances and bearings between corners. It translates on-site measurements into a precise map that can be used for legal descriptions and to locate the parcel on a map. A projection map deals with map projections and coordinate systems rather than detailing a specific parcel’s boundaries. A cadastre is the official record of property ownership and value, often accompanied by the cadastral map for reference, but the surveying document that directly depicts the metes and bounds of a parcel is the survey plan. A cadastral map shows parcels and their extents within a registry system, useful for ownership and taxation, but it’s not the produced result of the actual survey describing metes and bounds for a single parcel.
