Surveyors And The Cadastral Data Content Standard - Part Two - Broadwater County Montana An Example from The Montana Cadastral Mapping Project

(image of Broadwater County from Montana Cadastral Mapping Project)

The example shown below is an illustration of data available on line through the Montana Cadastral Mapping Project.  The data illustrated is from Broadwater County, Montana.    Broadwater County is one of several Montana Counties for which parcel maps and Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal System (CAMA) data are included.

Pictured below is T06NR02E in Broadwater County, with a parcel highlighted in yellow.  Data about the parcel is listed to the right.  (For this example personal information, such as address and owner name, have been replaced with anonymous terms.)  The Montana Cadastral Mapping Project web site offers excellent options for illustrating detailed information, including a state map showing the status of the project's progress, a county shaded relief map, and the ability to portray townships down to the parcel level.   It can also illustrate such features as hydrography, roads, and section numbers.

The table below shows an excerpt from the Montana Department of Revenue CAMA database.   The record highlighted in blue below corresponds with the parcel shown in yellow above.  The link between the CAMA data below, and the parcel map information shown above is the Geocode: 43149516301010000.  The ValTot97 field indicates the property's assessed value.   The TCamaBVal field contains the rate at which the property is taxed.   (Owner's personal information has been altered for this example.)
