contour map


Explanation:
Sure wish we had more context--i.e., what it is that "incorpora plano..." I am guessing that this is two different ways that something has been mapped... (cf. Oxford SuperLex: *plano acotado = contour map*)

(it) includes scaled contour and elevation maps/plats (for property mapping)

rounded


Explanation:
If you're still on the kitchen cupboards, I suggest 'rounded' for acotado, but it's shooting in the dark with more context
