Which term refers to the result of a Cadastral Survey, drawn to appropriate scale and showing all land parcels and important natural and man-made features within a municipality/project, for purposes of describing and recording ownership?

• A. Cadastral Map (CM)
• B. Cadastral Plan
• C. Plat Map
• D. Parcel Map

Answer: (A)

The main concept is the map produced from a cadastral survey that is drawn to scale and shows every land parcel plus important natural and man-made features within a municipality or project for describing and recording ownership. This product is called a cadastral map. It serves as the authoritative spatial reference for identifying parcel boundaries, lot numbers, and relevant features, all at a scale suitable for precise legal descriptions and land records. A cadastral plan and a plat map describe different aspects or contexts—plans are often plan sheets accompanying surveys or used for planning, plats focus on subdivision layouts, and parcel maps provide a more general representation of parcel boundaries for basic records. The cadastral map uniquely combines accuracy, scale, and comprehensive parcel detail needed to describe and record ownership.
