Which term refers to a two-dimensional map showing the metes and bounds of a surveyed parcel or parcels of land and other pertinent information?

• A. Field Notes
• B. Survey Returns
• C. Land Boundaries Map
• D. Survey Plan

Answer: (D)

The term describes the official drawing that graphically represents a surveyed parcel, showing its metes and bounds along with other relevant details. This two-dimensional map is the survey plan, which includes the measured distances and directions, bearings, coordinates or monument references, lot and plan numbers, and any easements or encumbrances that affect the property. It serves as the precise, recordable depiction used for title and registration purposes.

Field notes are the raw field measurements and observations recorded during the survey, not the map itself. Survey returns refer to the reports submitted after surveying, conveying results but not the primary drawing. A land boundaries map is not the standard term used in this context. The official map you’re looking for is the survey plan.
