ALTA Survey

An alta survey is like a very special map the grown-ups use to help them understand a certain piece of land. The survey shows important information about the land, like the boundaries (where the land ends and where other land begins), where there are any buildings (like houses, stores, or schools), where there are roads or other important things on the land. Think of it like a treasure map, but instead of X's marking where the treasure is, it shows important information about the land. People use alta surveys to help them understand the land better and make important decisions about it.
