The map that shows all land parcels and important natural and man-made features within a municipality/project for describing and recording ownership is called which?

Explanation:
Cadastral mapping focuses on ownership and parcel boundaries. It shows every land parcel within a municipality, detailing its boundaries, dimensions, and identifying numbers, along with nearby natural and man-made features to locate parcels in real space. This makes it the exact tool used for describing and recording who owns each piece of land, supporting titles, taxation, and land administration. In contrast, a plat map is primarily about subdivisions and lot layouts for development, a land use map emphasizes what uses land, not who owns it, and a topographic map highlights terrain and elevations rather than ownership. So the map described is the cadastral map.
