Reference plans display the spatial descriptions of land-parcel boundaries that define the location, shape and size of land parcels within the context of a regional or national geodetic positioning system. They also contain a unique parcel identifier to establish the link to the land-ownership information. When maintained in a real-time manner, cadastral maps can serve as the base for a reliable property rights system.
In Canada´s early days, cadastral surveyors established townships, lots, access roads, railways, canals and town plots. Today, with global positioning systems, surveyors are marking out new native land-claim settlements and national parks to add to existing provincial, territorial and international boundaries.
