A cadastral map is a type of land partitioning map that shows land ownership of an area. These maps use the State Plane Coordinate system to convey locational information or for land partitioning measures. Present in cadastral maps are the base line, principal meridian, and initial point. The base line is the east-west line, the principal meridian is the north-south line, and the initial point provides the basis of this grid pattern. Cadastral maps also use the metes(units of distance) and bounds(names of markers) method of dividing up lands according to ownership. The above map is a cadastral map using the metes and bounds method to divide land up based on land ownership. This specific cadastral map is dividing the land parcels by the boundaries of different fields of crops and ownership of these different fields.
