Tennessee Specific Surveying (TS) Practice Exam

How must the corner of the property be tied for the Survey Map?

By distance only By GPS coordinates By bearing and distance By radius and arc

Correct Answer:

By bearing and distance

Explanation:

The corner must be located on the map using both direction and distance from a known reference. A bearing provides the direction from the reference line or point, and the distance gives how far along that direction the corner lies. Together, bearing and distance uniquely fix the corner’s position on the map. Distance alone doesn’t specify where along a line the point sits, and a radius/arc describes curves rather than a straight boundary corner. While GPS coordinates can be used in modern surveys, the standard way to tie a corner for a survey map is by bearing and distance.
