Cadastral mapping is one of the best known forms of mapping, because it is the mapping that shows all of the land parcels in relation to one another and to the adjoining roads. It is also one of the most ancient forms of mapping – for example ancient Egyptians are known to have developed cadastral records so that land ownership could be re-established after the annual flooding of the Nile River. Cadastral maps show legal plots of land and how they border each other. Each individual plots is know as a Cadastral Plan which is a legal, binding document. When purchasing a home or property you are required to have a current survey "Cadastral Plan" on file with the proper office before you can get insurance or even close on the purchase.
