Cadastral maps


Cadastral maps show how land is divided into real property, and sometimes the kinds of built improvements. They show land ownership, rights to land access and use, and obligations. They are best known for their use in taxation and this is particularly important in the U.S. Its significance comes mainly from its role in governance and in land development and speculation. This cadastral map is from the website of the DALIS project and shows a cadastral map of Delaware County, Ohio.
