Research notes

Sheet 1 of three. NO par_id ON PURPOSE: this is a REGIONAL plan naming scores of farms across Cango, Kammanassie and Wynands River, not the diagram of one parcel, so tying it to a single par_id would be false. It was an orphan in sources/diagrams until checks.py refused to let the site deploy over it, which is the check working - a scan with no document row is invisible to every surface and to every audit.

Scanned UPSIDE DOWN; rotate 180 before reading. TRANSCRIBED 20 Aug 2026 - the field-cornetcies and the farm names of the F.C. Lower Oliphants River are in SRC-493's notes.

The research behind this page, kept separate from it: dated working notes, open questions, and what is not yet settled.
