    • 1992 December 20, Tom Ferrell, “Rome With a View”, in The New York Times‎[1]:
      As page 1 of the accompanying text helpfully explains, "ichnographic plans are particularly well suited for cadastres" but reveal nothing of the ups and downs and tops of things.
  2. A register of such surveys, showing details of ownership and value.
    • 2013 May 26, Suzanne Daley, “Who Owns This Land? In Greece, Who Knows?”, in The New York Times‎[2]:
      The only parts of Greece that have had a land registry and cadastre are the Dodecanese Islands, because they were occupied by the Italians from 1912 to the end of World War II. Land use on the islands, which include Rhodes and Kos, is still guided by Italian law.
