Abstract
A sketch, map, or graphic display, is often the only visible product of a surveyor’s work. Therefore, the importance of presenting the client with a nice-appearing, professionally done graphic product cannot be overemphasized. Attractiveness, accuracy of plot, legibility, and clearly imparted information are vital in creating a survey drafting product worthy of professional respect.
