Which symbol denotes private land surveys by Private Geodetic Engineers?

• A. Psu
• B. Pge
• C. Psd
• D. Psc

Answer: (A)

In cadastral mapping, the marks or abbreviations along a plan indicate who performed the fieldwork. When a private land survey is done by a licensed Private Geodetic Engineer, the notation used is the symbol that reads as Psu. This designation signals that the survey was carried out in private practice, under the responsibility of a private professional, rather than by a government survey team. It matters because it ties the work to a specific professional who can certify and be accountable for the measurements, bearings, and boundaries shown on the plan. Other symbols exist for surveys conducted by different authorities or entities, so the Psu mark uniquely identifies private work by a Private Geodetic Engineer.
