The definition in _Cartographic
Materials_ simply states that a cadastral map delineates property
boundaries.
This is similar to what shows via the online Ordnance Survey glossary: http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/aboutus/reports/misc/glossary.html .

This usually takes the form of maps and descriptions of uniquely identifiable land parcels.
