2. The size of each sheet shall be eighteen inches by twenty six inches (18" x 26") or four hundred sixty millimeters by six hundred sixty millimeters (460mm x 660mm). A marginal line shall be drawn completely around each sheet, leaving an entirely blank margin or one inch (1") or twenty five millimeters (25mm). The scale of the map shall be large enough to show all details clearly, and enough sheets shall be used to accomplish this end. The particular number of the sheet and the total number of sheets comprising the map shall be stated on each of the sheets, and its relation to each adjoining sheet shall be clearly shown. Affidavits, certificates, acknowledgments, endorsements, acceptances of dedication and seals required by the subdivision map act, by this title or by other provisions of law shall appear on the first sheet, and may be combined where appropriate.
B. Information Required:
1. Index And Location Map:
a. If more than two (2) sheets are used to show the actual layout of the streets and lots, an index shall be used showing the relationship of the sheets.
b. A location map shall appear on the map, showing the relative position of the land to be subdivided with the rest of the section or sections in which it lies and also the surrounding existing subdivisions (if any), including their names and tract numbers. The location map shall include all survey information which was necessary to actually set the exterior control monuments of the new subdivision. The location map shall show city boundaries crossing or adjoining the subdivision.
c. Affidavits, certificates, acknowledgments, endorsements, acceptance of dedication and seals required by law, the subdivision map act, by this title or by other provisions of law shall appear on the first sheet.

The exterior boundary of the land to be divided shall be indicated by a blue colored border one-eighth (1/8) of an inch in width.
3. Lots And Blocks: Each lot shall be numbered or lettered consecutively beginning with lot no. 1; except, that when the final map is an additional phase of an existing subdivision, the lot numbers shall commence with the next number higher than in the preceding phase. The area of each lot shall be shown on the final map.
Blocks, if used, shall be consecutively lettered or numbered. Each block and each parcel shall be shown completely on one sheet.

Dimensions of all lot lines, subdivision perimeter and centerline of streets shall be shown in feet and decimals thereof to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100) of a foot and bearings to the nearest second. If a course is a curve, the radius, length of curve or bearing and length of chord, and central angle shall be shown. If the ends of a curve are not tangent to the preceding or following courses and the chord along with its bearing and length are not shown, the radial of the end of the curve, with its bearing, shall be shown.
b. All required information shall be shown in full for all portions of the map. No ditto marks shall be used with respect to any required information.
c. The width of each street right of way shall be shown indicating the widths on each side of the centerline. If additional right of way for an existing street is offered for dedication, the original right of way and the additional right of way width offered for dedication shall be shown along with the total width of the new right of way.

Easements being offered for dedication shall be so indicated in the statement of dedication.
7. Abandonment Of Public Streets And Easements: The final map shall adequately delineate any public streets or public easements to be left in effect after the subdivision.
