Cadastral surveying involves demarcating land boundaries using natural or artificial features and is essential for creating legally recognized land diagrams. A registered Professional Land Surveyor frames these diagrams, which are then examined and stored by a provincial Surveyor-General. The process also includes restoring any obscured beacons and boundary lines to their lawful positions.

Chapter 7

INTRODUCTION TO CADASTRAL SURVEYING (Textbook Ch. 7, p111)

Cadastral surveying is the means of initially demarcating physically on the ground


the limits of a subdivision of land. Either existing natural features, such as water
courses, are adopted to such ‘curvilinear‘ boundaries. Where no such features exist,
then artificial boundaries are created by inserting beacons at corners locating a
straight line ‘rectilinear’ boundary on the ground.

Thereafter Cadastral surveying is the means of framing a diagram by a registered


Professional Land Surveyor. Diagrams are examined by a provincial Surveyor-
General together with the supporting survey records comprising a field book,
calculations and working plan. The Surveyor-General retains all the records in safe
keeping.

Cadastral surveying now becomes the means of restoring to their ‘lawful’ positions
those beacons and boundary lines which have become obliterated from view.
