(a) the general location of the subdivision and adjoining properties with ownership;
(b) all deed lines of the subject and adjoining properties and lines of occupation such as fence lines;
(c) the 100 foot radius wellhead protection zone on all existing wells within and outside of the subdivision where the protection zone falls within the boundary of the subdivision;
(d) bearing and distance tie-in to the historic and dependant survey and at least one established monument, and if no historic monument can be located, it must be so stated upon the plat;
