of this map is chosen depending on the area to be covered.
2) Index map: The locality map also called key map drawn to a scale
1:250,000. It shows the location of the road with respect to
important towns, industrial centers, etc. In short it provides bird eye
view of the project.
3) Preliminary survey plan: These plans show the details of the

various alternate alignments and other information collected during
preliminary survey. The size of these plans varies from
240x330mm to 880x1230mm and their scale may also be varied
from 10cm=1km to 20cm=1km.
4) Detail location survey plan and longitudinal section: The plan

should be drawn at the top and longitudinal section at the bottom.
The general scale for horizontal length is 1:2500 and for vertical
distances 1:250 naturally for hilly stretches this scale could be
changed.
5) Detail cross section of road: The cross section should be drawn
