A cadastral map is a map that is based on the official statement of the quantity of the real property for a given area. These would be official maps and might be used for things like taxes and property ownership. A example of a cadastral system is that of the State Plane Coordinate system, which is used for location information or for land partitioning. Other systems that might be used to create a map of this type would be a unsystematic land partitioning system using metes (units or distance) and bounds (names of markers) as a way to divided land according to ownership or the PLSS which is a systematic method. I've used for my example a map of Kentucky showing its State Plane Coordinate system. The state is divided into two zones north and south.
