Cadastral Map


Cadastral maps are maps that show the boundaries and ownership of land parcels. Some show additional information such as survey district names, identifying numbers of parcels, section or lot numbers, etc...
In the US the Cadastral Survey is used by the Bureau of Land Management in maintaining records of all public lands.
The above example of a cadastral map illustrates a small portion of a subdivision (one particular cul-de-sac). In the picture you can see how the land is divided up into individual homeowner's lots. (Clicking on the picture will enlarge it for viewing purposes.)
