Such additional information may include, but is not limited to, building setback lines, flood hazard zones, seismic lines and setbacks, geologic mapping, archaeological sites and possible boundary or title conflicts.

When a subdivision is proposed to be created through the tentative tract map process, a final tract map shall be filed for recording with the County Recorder and the County Surveyor pursuant to Government Code Section 66466.
