SUBDIVISION
Surveys within this project are required
verification surveys to conform to the
graphical even if the numerical survey
data is used.
Since the numerical survey was
conducted after 10-15 years after
approval of the graphical survey, so many
changes (area, claimant, shape) had
occurred, hence conformity to the
graphical survey must not be required.
