An Improvement Location Survey - Proposed is intended for a variety of purposes such as to depict proposed improvements or record the location of recently constructed improvements on properties or within rights of way. For proposed improvements, this plan would be used as a Site Plan, Plan & Profile, Roadway or Pipeline Design Plans in conjunction, where needed, with a professional engineer. An Improvement Location Survey - Record would be used to depict the As-Built locations of improvements for development projects to depict final built locations in relation to pertinent items such as building setback lines, easement or property lines.
Subdivision or Resubdivision Map
A type of survey which depicts and notes the layout of lots and the associated public or private highways, easements and lands and is intended for submission to applicable regulatory entities. This map would be submitted in conjunction with a Property Survey. This map shall conform to the requirements of a Property Survey or be submitted along with a Property Survey. The map would then become a Record map for subdivided parcels upon approval by commissions and entities and by the filing of the approved map on the land records.
Easement Map
A type of survey which depicts and notes the position of an existing or proposed easement with respect to:
boundary monumentation found or set;
apparent improvements and features such as dwellings, sheds, barns, driveways, roadways, surface utilities, visible bodies of water, fences, walls, hedges, yards, swimming pools;
other record easements and visible evidence of the use thereof; and
unresolved conflicts with record deed descriptions and maps;
visible encroachments.
This map is utilized to locate and depict existing or proposed easements and the matters and features affecting said easements.

A type of survey which marks or monuments the physical position of property corners or lines. Upon completion, the surveyor shall then issue a signed and sealed letter or sketch indicating the monuments or markers set along with indicating the Boundary Determination used.

This survey is most commonly performed when only the physical location of a boundary on the ground is of concern in cases such as disputes, installation of a fence or other yard improvement planned and no mapping is desired.
