Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 2 - DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE › Division 90 - Weights, Measures and Consumer Protection › Chapter 65 - Cadastral Mapping Survey Standards › Section 2 CSR 90-65.030 - Definitions

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule defines the terms as used in this
				  standard.
(1) Cadastral
				Data-Source information used to delineate the geographic extent, quantity, and
				dimensions of cadastral parcels. Source information includes the United States
				Public Land Survey System (PLSS), subdivision plats, land surveys, real estate
				conveyances, right-of-way plans, etc.
(2) Cadastral Parcel Mapping-The delineated
				identification of all real property parcels. The cadastral map is based upon
				the United States Public Land Survey System (PLSS). For cadastral parcel maps
				the position of the legal framework is derived from the PLSS, existing tax
				maps, and tax database property descriptions, recorded deeds, recorded surveys,
				and recorded subdivision plats.
(3)
				Digital Cadastral Parcel Mapping-Encompasses the concepts of automated mapping,
				graphic display and output, data analysis, and database management as pertains
				to cadastral parcel mapping. Digital cadastral parcel mapping systems consist
				of hardware, software, data, people, organizations, and institutional
				arrangements for collecting, storing, analyzing, and disseminating information
				about the location and areas of parcels and the United States Public Land
				Survey System.
(4) Digital Section
				Vertices-The points on a digital cadastral map that define the PLSS lines and
				corners.
(5) Metadata-Information
				that describes specific details about a dataset. Metadata for geographic
				information may include the source of the data, its creation date and format,
				its projection scale, resolution, and accuracy.
(6) Metes and Bounds-Describe the limits of a
				land parcel by reference to courses and distances around a tract and by
				reference to natural and artificial monuments of record.
(7) Missouri State Plane Coordinate
				System-The system of plane coordinates that have been established by the
				National Oceanic Survey/National Geodetic Survey, or its successors, for
				defining and stating the geodetic positions or locations of points on the
				surface of the earth within the state of Missouri as defined in sections
				60.401
				through
				60.491,
				RSMo.
(8) Parcel-A single unit of
				real property which can be described by location and boundaries and for which
				there is a history of defined, legally recognized interests. Parcel boundaries
				are usually described in a conveyance document by aliquot part, metes and
				bounds, or by lot number in a recorded subdivision.
(9) Point-A vector map feature having no
				length and no area, but is simply defined by a coordinate location.
(10) Polygon-A vector map feature represented
				by a closed geometric figure.
(11)
				Polyline-A vector map feature formed by connecting two (2) points and having no
				area.
(12) Tax Map-A document or
				map for taxation purposes showing the location, quantity, dimensions, and other
				relevant information pertaining to a parcel of land subject to
ad
				valorem
taxes, commonly known as property taxes.
(13) Topology-The spatial relationships
				between connecting, or adjacent, geographic features. Topological relationships
				are for spatial modeling operations that do not require coordinate
				information.
(14) United States
				Public Land Survey System (PLSS)-The rectangular survey system created by the
				United States Government founded on a principal meridian and base line and
				forming townships approximately six (6) miles north and south by six (6) miles
				east and west, which are subdivided into thirty-six (36) sections approximately
				one (1) mile square. The system, established by surveys executed under the
				direction of the General Land Office (GLO), and evidenced by township plats,
				field notes, and other available documentation. This system includes
				nonconforming private claims and other surveys as may have been performed under
				the direction of the General Land Office. The Fifth Principal Meridian is the
				basis of the Missouri PLSS.
