Cadastral surveys and records of rights in land (1606 words)
Cadastre is a technical term for a st of records showing the extent, value and ownership (or other basis for use or occupancy) of land.
A cadastral map will show the boundaries of such parcels but may in addition incorporate details of the resources associated with them, including the physical structures on or beneath them, their geology, soils, and vegetation and the manner in which the land is used.
Since the object of the map is to provide a precise description and identification of the land, the scale must be large enough for every separate plot of land which may be the subject of separate possession (conveniently called a “survey plot” or “land parcel”) to appear as a recognizable unit on the map.
