Which term denotes the code used to reference a land parcel's spatial position on the Land Information Map?

• A. Survey Plan
• B. Reference Point
• C. Unique Parcel Identifier (UPI)
• D. Projection map

Answer: (C)

This item tests how land parcels are uniquely identified in land information systems. The term that denotes the code used to reference a land parcel’s spatial position on the Land Information Map is the Unique Parcel Identifier (UPI). A UPI provides a single, persistent code that ties together the parcel’s location with its attributes in the map and cadastre databases, making it possible to locate, query, and link all related data about that parcel across maps and records.

The other options don’t serve as the parcel’s unique spatial code. A survey plan is a drawn representation of boundaries and measurements, not a single identifying code. A reference point is a specific location used as a starting or control point for surveys, not the parcel’s identifier. A projection map relates to how coordinates are transformed and displayed on a map, not to a unique code for each parcel. Thus, the Unique Parcel Identifier best fits the function described.
