Which of the following categories do all surveyed lands in Alberta fall into?

In Alberta, all surveyed lands are categorized as either subdivided or unsubdivided. Subdivided lands refer to parcels that have been legally divided into lots in accordance with local land use regulations, often for purposes like residential, commercial, or agricultural development. Unsubdivided lands, on the other hand, are still considered as a whole and have not been divided into smaller lots, even though they may be surveyed. This classification is essential for land management, planning, and zoning purposes, as it determines how the land can be utilized or developed in the future.

The other categories presented do not comprehensively represent the types of surveyed lands in Alberta. For example, ‘unsubdivided and non-legal’ does not correctly describe all surveyed lands since surveyed lands are, by definition, recognized through legal processes. Likewise, ‘legal and illegal’ is not applicable, as the classification of surveyed lands is not based on their legality but rather on their division status. Similarly, the classification 'municipal and rural' does not encapsulate the survey status of the lands but rather their jurisdiction and location within the province. Thus, 'subdivided and unsubdivided' is the correct classification for all surveyed lands in Alberta.
