Subject: question about cadastral maps

Hello all,
I am rare books cataloger that has become the de facto map cataloger for
our dept. I have some limited experience cataloging maps but there is
much I have yet to learn. One of the most confusing things for me is
trying to identify cadastral maps. How much information is necessary to
label a map cadasral? The map I am currently cataloging (Property at
East Newark, formerly known as the Preston Tract, to be sold at auction
... ca. 1836) shows parcels, block and lot numbers, street names, a few
parks and and two existing structures. Does this qualify as a cadastral
map or would it need to supply more information like parcel dimensions
or owners names? Other similar maps are sometimes identified as
cadastral and sometimes not.
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
