1. Cadastral maps Are also known as assessment maps, appraisal maps, ownership maps and
tax maps
2. Cadastral maps show Boundaries of parcels, size and location of parcels relative to other prop-
erties, major physical features such as roads streams railroads, etc...
3. Map scale The relationship of linear distance on the map to linear distance on the
ground
4. CAD mapping system Computer assisted drafting
5. GIS mapping system Geographic information system
6. CAD mapping system Used to produce maps CAD data elements include all graphics needed to
use draw a map, lines, line strings, text in symbols, and can greatly reduce
the time for milk production over traditional hand drawn cartographic
processes
7. GIS mapping system The technology stores land information in a computer database, comprises
use geography (lines) and attributes(info about the lines); different kinds of
information are often stored in different layers and can be used as an
appraisal tool by linking to CAMA
8. Two types of cadastral Systematic maintenance and general maintenance
maintenance
9. General map mainte- Results from changes to the maps and records from information other than
nance deeds, wills and plats. For example, street name changes, mailing address
changes, new highway construction, corporate limit lines and physical
feature changes
10. Systematic map main- The routine processing of changes to boundary lines and ownership
tenance records as a result of real property transfers

11. Parcel identification Provide a method for referencing land parcels or data associated with
systems parcels using a number code instead of a complete legal description
12. Six desirable charac- Uniqueness, permanence, simplicity, ease of maintenance, flexibility and
teristics for a personal reference to geographic location
identification system
13. Metes and bounds le- (oldest method) originally parcels of land were described by using natural
gal description sys- features as the most significant information, bearings are used to deter-
tems mine the direction of each individual boundary line starting and stopping
at the point of beginning
14. Public land survey sys- (Directed by the Continental Congress in 1785) (township and sections)
tem land surveyed in subdivided according to a system that incorporates
spherical coordinates (latitude and longitude) for the primary lines and
rectangular Coordinates for the secondary lines
15. A township is com- 36, one-mile-Square sections; sections are numbered consecutively, be-
prised of ginning with one in the north east corner and ending with 36 south east
corner
16. Baselines run East and west
17. Principal meridian North and south
lines run
18. The area of a section 1 mile Square
19. Number of acres in a 640 acres
square mile
20. Platted subdivision A means of describing property by numbered lots
