Cadastral \Ca*das"tral\, a. [F.]
   Of or pertaining to landed property.

   {Cadastral survey}, or {Cadastral map}, a survey, map, or
      plan on a large scale (Usually 1/2500 of the linear
      measure of the ground, or twenty-five inches to the mile
      or about an inch to the acre) so as to represent the
      relative positions and dimensions of objects and estates
      exactly; -- distinguished from a topographical map, which
      exaggerates the dimensions of houses and the breadth of
      roads and streams, for the sake of distinctness. --Brande
      & C.
