The city engineer shall provide two (2) identical maps of the
city, which shall truly reflect the boundaries of the city. One map
shall be placed in the office of the city engineer and the other map
shall be placed in the office of the city secretary; and each shall
be placed on a wall or on a convenient standard so as to be immediately
accessible to any person desiring information reflected thereby. In
the event any territory is annexed to the city, the city engineer
shall immediately correct each map so as to add thereto the additional
territory, indicating on each of the maps the date of annexation,
the number of the ordinance by which the annexation was accomplished
and a reference to the minutes or the ordinance records of the city
where such instrument is recorded in full.
