Scale to be Used
0 to 2400 1: 8000
Other sectional cadastral maps on larger scale may be likewise prepared. The general rule
in numbering sectional cadastral map is as follows: 2400 to 3600 1:12000
3600 to 4800 1:16000

The first sectional cadastral map number shall be assigned to the top-left (NW) 4800 to 6000 1:20000
quadrant; the second, to the top-right (NE) quadrant; the third, to the bottom- 6000 to 9000 1:30000
right (SE) quadrant and the last, to the bottom-left (SW) quadrant.

24000 to 30000 1:100000
on the standard scale of 1:4,000. The cadastral map number of the extreme southwestern
cadastral map shall be used to designate the contiguous cadastral map number. If the 30000 to 36000 1:120000
extreme southwestern cadastral map number is CM14°24' N-120°36'E, the contiguous 36000 to 45000 1:150000
cadastral map number is CCM14°24'N - 120°36'E, scale 1:8,000 or CCM14°24'N -

Section 355 - The map numbers of adjacent cadastral maps, whether standard, sectional 60000 to 75000 1:250000
or contiguous, shall be indicated on the left side of the quadrangle below the lower 75000 to 90000 1: 300000
marginal line of each cadastral map.
 MUNICIPAL BASE MAPS PROJECTION MAPS
Section 357 – Municipal base maps shall be prepared and kept up-to-date for each city, Section 363 - Provisional cadastral maps, also known as projection maps, shall comprise
