Which symbol is used to designate private land subdivision of decreed property by Land Management Geodetic Engineer?

• A. Bsd
• B. Pst
• C. Pcn
• D. Pcs

Answer: (A)

In cadastral mapping, the reader relies on standard abbreviations to show the exact status of a piece of land. When a private land subdivision is created by a decree, the plan marks those parcels with a specific shorthand so anyone looking at the map instantly knows their status and the official process behind them. The symbol Bsd is that standard marker for a private subdivision of decreed property carried out by a Land Management Geodetic Engineer. It communicates that these parcels are private and were established through a decree, which has implications for titles, registries, and future transfers. The other abbreviations represent different land statuses or processes, so they wouldn’t correctly designate a decreed private subdivision.
