How should boundaries formed by water courses be depicted?

Boundaries formed by water courses should be depicted plotted to the scale shown in the Survey Map because accurate representation is essential in surveying, particularly for legal and property delineation purposes. Water courses can change over time due to natural erosion, sediment deposits, or human intervention, but a survey should still represent the boundary as closely as possible to its actual measured scale. Depicting these features accurately provides clarity and helps to ensure compliance with local property laws, as well as offering an authoritative reference for dispute resolution.

When a water course is represented on a survey map with an accurate scale, it maintains the integrity of the surveyed land information, allowing all stakeholders to understand the exact placement of property lines relative to the natural features. This practice enhances transparency and accuracy in land assessment and ownership rights.
