Tracts not adjoining each other when plotted on one plan under one survey number shall have what computed and shown on the map?

When several tracts are drawn on one plan under one survey number but don’t touch each other, inter-tie lines are used. These lines connect the corners or key points of the separate tracts, showing how they relate spatially on the same map. This creates a reference framework so the entire plan remains coherent and can be re-plotted accurately, even though the parcels aren’t contiguous. Offsets, perimeter distances, and area shares serve different purposes: offsets locate a point from a baseline, perimeter distances measure a tract’s boundary length, and area shares indicate the portion of total area for each tract. Inter-tie lines specifically establish and display the linkage between non-adjacent tracts on the plan.
