Graphical cadastre centers on representing land parcels on a map using graphic methods. Here, bearings and distances for each lot are determined with traditional surveying tools—transit for angles and stadia for distances—and then the results are laid out or scaled from a photo map. This creates a graphical plot of the parcels on a map rather than relying primarily on numerical coordinates stored in a database. In contrast, numerical cadastre would emphasize coordinate-based data, and control or project control surveys relate to establishing the reference framework for surveys rather than defining the parcels themselves. The described method—using transit and stadia and scaling from a photo map—fits graphical cadastre.
