Cadastral maps are reproduced primarily for which purpose?

• A. Public Records
• B. Cadastral Registration
• C. Land Registry
• D. Property Deeds

Answer: (B)

Cadastral maps are reproduced primarily for cadastral registration—the official process of creating and maintaining the record of land parcels. These maps provide the exact boundaries, parcel numbers, and dimensions that tie each piece of land to a unique identifier in the cadastral system. Reproducing them ensures there is a precise, authoritative ground reference that can be used whenever parcels are created, subdivided, merged, or when rights and descriptions are updated. While these maps also support related functions like land registry records, taxation, and planning, the central purpose is to establish and maintain the parcel-based framework that underpins cadastral registration.
