Surveying and Mapping Standards

Surveying and Mapping Standards are guidelines that ensure the accuracy, consistency, and quality of land measurements and representations. They set rules for how measurements are taken, recorded, and used to create maps, ensuring that data from different sources or surveys can be reliably combined and understood. These standards cover technical specifications, procedures, and terminology, helping professionals produce precise maps and land data that are essential for construction, land division, and resource management. They promote uniformity and confidence in geographical information used by governments, engineers, and planners.
