Survey relating to land boundaries and subdivisions, made to create or to
define the limitations of a title, and to determine a unit suitable for
transfer. Includes surveys involving retracements for the identification, and
resurveys for the restoration, of property lines. (The term "cadastral" is
practically obsolete; may be found in older historical records; current usage
is "land survey" or "property survey.") Seelye, 2
