Among the most important highlights Remote Sensing, the Geographical Information Systems (GIS), the Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and the Cartography, as well as software for the digital processing and CAD representation among others. Today in day would be almost impossible to management the agrarian processes without appealing to the employment of some of these techniques. One of the fundamental thematic cartographic tools are the cadastral maps, defined as cartographic documents that represent the goods properties of an agricultural area with enough it spatial details to facilitate the management at level of parcels, sub-parcels and even to inside of the parcels scale.
