Do you fully label every feature? Or do you just assume people will know what you mean?
When using a map, if I see it in the legend I expect to find it on the map. As a consumer I don’t want a huge legend to sort through if there are only a few items on the map. I feel it is a better product with only the needed legend items. If it is too much effort to create that product so be it. I think it is worth the time.
Yes, section line typ., property line typ. found 2″ aluminum cap per PLS xxxx, Right of way line typ. ect.
Instead of POB with point of beginning noted in the legend I spell it out at the point of beginning shown on the plat and label the monument. This can’t be done for each drawing.
I’m finding that it often saves room and there is less not more clutter on the drawing.
Sometimes I end up with a very small legend with 5 or so items.
I sent out a drawing this morning for a pipeline easement. No legend and no need for one.
