The professional surveyor shall make the survey by metes and bounds and locate the parcel with reference to some established corner. In addition, the professional surveyor shall identify the parcel by section, township, range, and county references. The professional surveyor shall prepare plats of the parcel in ink, and shall prepare the plats on the scale, and in the number, prescribed by the director.
