Tennessee Specific Surveying (TS) Practice Exam

Legibility of details on the survey plat or map is what matters. The size should be chosen so that all information—text, dimensions, bearings, distances, lot lines, easements, notes, and symbols—can be read clearly. If the map is too small, labels and lines can overlap or become unreadable, making the document hard to use or legally questionable. If you overemphasize size, it doesn’t add value beyond what’s needed for clarity and can be impractical. So the best practice is to size the plat so that details can be shown clearly.
