A cadastral map is a map that is used to show real property of a country. In these maps one can show ownership of land by metes and bounds. These maps are important for public records to show ownership of that specific property. The above cadastral map shows the boundaries of a neighborhood. This could come in handy if someone wanted to add a fence to their property. They would be able to refer to public records to see the exact coordinates of property they own so they know where to place the fence.
