Cadastral Conversion from Original Land Records: Mappping Without a Net
Track: Cadastral and Land Records
Author(s): Mark Kemper

Many local governments still use outdated, inaccurate, incomplete, or otherwise unreliable parcel maps. The needs of their user communities often warrant or demand a highly accurate GIS parcel data model, supported by digital orthophotography. In these conditions a scan and warp work flow is not sufficient. This session addresses the requirements and methodology needed to reconstruct a GIS cadastral parcel base from original land records; the "from scratch" approach. Topics include determination and evaluation of source records, orthophotography, parcel compilation methods and philosophies, research issues, GIS data model, costs, and parcel maintenance issues.
