Which term refers to a map where all lots subject for verification and approval are plotted to determine cases of overlaps with previously approved plans?

• A. Plotting Map
• B. Verification Map
• C. Projection map
• D. Overlap Map

Answer: (C)

Projection map is the term used for a map where all lots to be verified and approved are laid out on the same base reference so you can see how they fit with existing plans. By projecting the proposed subdivision onto the established basemap, any overlaps with already approved plans become visible before approval, making discrepancies easy to spot and resolve. This overlay approach is what distinguishes a projection map from a simple plotting map (which just shows layout), a verification map (which focuses on checking data accuracy), or an overlap map (which highlights conflicts but isn’t the standard term used for the entire verification-and-approval plotting process).
