Cadastral Maps


     This type of map provides detailed information about real property within a specific area. A cadastral map, also known as a cadaster or cadastre, can show the boundaries and ownership of land parcels. They can also include information about tax rates or which kinds of structures are present. These types of maps carry detailed information about location and show more than just the boundaries of lot lines; they provide measurements on each lot, and can also use GPS locations, so that people can understand where everything on the map is in the real world. Specific landmarks such as natural features and buildings are highlighted on the maps in order for people to orient themselves within the map. This particular cadaster was designed to provide more security to owners and potential buyers of property in Costa Rica by identifying property boundaries.
