Which symbol is used to designate public land surveys such as National Government Land or Private Consolidation of undecreed property?

• A. Cup
• B. Ccn
• C. Ccs
• D. Csd

Answer: (B)

Understanding map symbols for land status in cadastral surveys helps you read parcels correctly. In this context, lands designated as public land surveys—such as National Government Land or private consolidation of undecreed property—are marked with a specific shorthand used in the Besavilla conventions. The symbol that represents these public land survey parcels is the one labeled as Ccn. This abbreviation is purpose-built to indicate land under government ownership or government-led consolidation activities, so it directly matches the scenario described in the question.

The other symbols are used for different land statuses or survey actions, so they don’t convey the same meaning as public land surveys. Always check the map’s legend, because these conventions can vary by system, but in this set, Ccn is the symbol associated with National Government Land and related public land survey designations.
