What is the primary purpose of the Cadastral Map (CM) in land administration?

The primary purpose of the cadastral map in land administration is to describe and record ownership and boundaries of land parcels. It provides the official spatial framework for property titles and transactions by showing parcel extents, boundaries, and unique identifiers tied to ownership and rights in land records. This focus makes it the go-to reference for determining who owns each piece of land, how parcels are subdivided, and how they relate on the ground. It isn’t meant to depict topography, streets, or satellite imagery—that information comes from topographic maps, road networks, and imagery products, respectively. The cadastral map centers on delineating parcels and linking them to legal ownership to support accurate titles, rights, and land administration processes.
