(d) The exterior boundary of the land included within the subdivision shall be indicated by distinctive symbols and clearly so designated.

(e) The map shall; show the location of each parcel and its relation to surrounding surveys.

(f) Subject to the provisions of section 66436 of the Subdivision Map Act, a certificate, signed and acknowledged by all parties having any record title interest in the real property subdivided, consenting to the preparation and recordation of the final parcel map is required to be submitted to the city engineer prior to his approval of the final parcel map.

(h) The map shall show the recording data, widths and the center line or side lines of all easements to which the lots are subject. If an easement is not definitely located of record, a statement of the easement must appear on the title sheet. Easements for storm drains, sewers, public utilities and other purposes shall be indicated by a dashed and/or dotted line of the same width as the lines denoting lot lines. Distances and bearings on the side lines of lots which are cut by an easement must be arrowed or shown so that the map will indicate clearly the actual lengths of the lot lines.
