Map# 5: Cadastral Maps


Cadastral maps depict boundaries and ownership of land parcels. They can include survey district names, unique identifying numbers for parcels, certificate of title numbers, positions of existing structures, section and/or lot numbers and their respective areas, adjoining and adjacent street names. They provide the location, and dimensions of various parcels of land. Their primary use is to document land ownership, value property,and determine taxes. They are frequently used in legal cases involving disputes over land ownership. The simple cadastral map above shows locations and sizes of various plots of land.
