Which map type is described by a scale of 1:4000 and is drawn on stable base approximately 54 by 54 centimeters?

• A. Regional Base Maps
• B. Municipal Base Maps
• C. Cadastral Map
• D. Provincial Base Maps

Answer: (C)

This scenario highlights large-scale, parcel-focused surveying used for land ownership and boundaries. A scale of 1:4000 is a true large scale, giving detailed depiction of individual parcels, fences, roads, and fieldnotes. The stable base about 54 by 54 centimeters describes a fixed, durable sheet size used for cadastral plotting, ensuring accuracy and consistent reproduction across maps.

Cadastral maps are specifically designed to document parcel boundaries and ownership, often at this kind of large scale on a stable base sheet. In contrast, regional, municipal, or provincial base maps cover broader areas and are typically produced at smaller scales and for general reference rather than detailed parcel information, so they don’t match the described combination of large scale and stable base sheet.
