Answer 1

Answer:

lot and block method

Explanation:

The 'lot and block survey system' is a method which is used in countries that are thickly populated. It is used to trace and identify land. This is also called recorded plat survey system. This is way to legally describe property.

In a plat map, subdivisions are made into large areas that are called blocks and small areas are called lots. The plat map also shows the monuments that are placed by survey. Survey data is used to locate lot, block and street.

This plat map should be approved by local municipality.
