Survey symbol to designate consolidation and subdivision as decreed by Public Land Surveyor?

• A. Bcn
• B. Bcl
• C. Bdn
• D. Bfn

Answer: (A)

The symbol denoting consolidation and subdivision is used on survey plans to record that previously separate parcels have been merged into one tract and then divided into new parcels, under the authority of a Public Land Surveyor. The notation Bcn is specifically interpreted as consolidated and subdivided, signaling that the parcel fabric was altered by an official consolidation followed by subdivision. This helps anyone reading the map understand that the boundaries reflect an official order rather than a simple field re-survey or a routine boundary adjustment. Other abbreviations correspond to different actions and do not convey the exact sequence of consolidation plus subdivision.
