 Washington State Cadastre: Integrating Topology, Aquatic Ownership, and Land Records Track: Cadastral and Land Records Author(s): Greg Tudor, Jeff Devitt, Frank Fischer The Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) implemented cadastral geodatabase layers for corners, boundaries, legal descriptions, state ownership parcels, and administrative jurisdictions in 2002. Since then, the DNR has expanded the scope of the project by adopting topology rules and editing, converting Aquatic Land Ownership coverage data to the upland geodatabase, and developing a land records document system and interfacing that Automated Tract Book (ATB) system with the geodatabase. he change to topology required conceptual changes in the editing process and physical changes in the process to backload the legacy public land survey, ownership, and administration coverage. Minor changes and extensions of the cadastral data model enabled inclusion of aquatic ownership despite topology rule differences between aquatic and upland ownership. Finally, a process was developed to push parcel data into the ATB land records document system and pull parcel document and grantor/grantee data into the geodatabase.
