Legend
The map legend is usually a critical part of a map that is very detailed. It explains the items on a plat with a minimum of clutter and extraneous labels. Object scale, line scale and widths, and the readability of the information at a reduced scale should be looked at. The legend and map should be carefully reviewed for missing or conflicting information.
Review
· Are the objects shown on the map explained satisfactorily in the legend? If they are not in the legend, are they labeled on the plat?
· Are there any objects in the legend that are not shown on the plat? If they do not show up on the map, they should not be in the legend.
· Does the line work obstruct the symbols, to the point that it is not clear from the legend what the symbol is?
· Are there any symbols shown on the map that are labeled with conflicting information on the drawing? If it is in the legend as, for example a brass cap, and labeled on the drawing as an aluminum cap, then you either need another legend symbol, or modify the legend to read brass or aluminum cap as noted.
