Which survey type is defined as covering isolated parcels used for multiple purposes up to 1,500 hectares?

• A. Isolated Survey
• B. Amendment Survey
• C. Public Land Survey
• D. Private Land Survey

Answer: (A)

Isolated surveys are used when a land parcel stands apart from a larger, organized cadastral framework and needs boundaries established as a standalone unit. This type of survey covers isolated parcels that may serve multiple purposes and can be up to 1,500 hectares in size. It’s specifically designed for parcels not embedded in a regular block of surveyed land, allowing detailed determination of boundaries for lands used in various ways.

Amendment surveys adjust or relocate corners and boundaries of an existing survey plan, so they aren’t about creating a new standalone parcel. Public land surveys deal with lands belonging to the government and create or redefine boundaries within the public domain, not private isolated parcels. Private land surveys focus on parcels within established private property boundaries, typically for conveyance or title purposes, rather than surveying isolated tracts up to a large size.
