Basic cadastral surveying plan

The basic cadastral surveying plan serves as a background plan in raster form. It may also be superimposed with additional thematic data.

Product description

The basic cadastral surveying plan is a uniform plan encompassing the whole of Switzerland. Its content is automatically derived from the cadastral surveying data, with the exception of the depiction of rock faces, which is taken directly from the 1:25,000 National Map. Its conception is that of a background plan in raster form onto which additional information can be superimposed.

Procurement of the plan

The plan can only be generated from those regions in which numeric data are available in accordance with the recognised standard (AV93) and can be obtained from the cantonal cadastral surveying authorities.
