may be found to be necessary. It shall prepare maps of such district
showing natural and artificial features as may be needed, the boundaries

town, village or city line, the area in each such political subdivision
shall be given. Each parcel of land or each subdivision thereof shall be
designated by a number. In the course of the proceeding further
subdivision of parcels may be made if necessary or convenient.
