The farm's own history, the grant, the original survey, sits on that page.

Farm number: No. 125
Portion: 1
District: Prince Albert
Extent, as the diagram states it: 5305 morgen 535 sq roods (text); 5097 morgen 1609 sq roods (rectified area)

This parcel has no matched survey polygon, so it cannot be drawn on the map. That is a gap in the cadastre match, not an absence from the record.

Research notes

[3 Aug 2026, SRC-207] ONE HALF OF RHEMHOOGTE AS GRANTED. Diagram 978/1883 describes it as "being one-half of the farm RHEMHOOGTE granted to Mess[rs] J and J A Oosthuysen on the 1st July 1879" - the grant our OWN-000060 records as P.A.Q. 2-20 to "(J.)A.A. Oosthuysen & another". Cancelled 13.4.1974 vide Farm 125/5. Portion 2 (PAR-000140) was cut out of it in 1883. No polygon: the diagram is pre-coordinate and the parcel no longer exists as such.

[13 Aug 2026] Renamed to the one form this model uses for every portion - the portion's own name, then the parent farm, its number and the portion in brackets - so that a name is legible in a list, a search result and a map popup without the reader having to know which farm number is which. It read "Rhemhoogte Portion 1 (No. 125 Ptn 1)" before. Nothing about the ground changed.

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

What the record is missing

Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
Rhemhoogte No. 125 Ptn 1 is in the model, and carries no ownership record of any kind, not a grant, not a transfer, not an occupation.

What would settle it The Surveyor-General's diagram for the farm number names the grantee and the date; the deed reference on it opens the transfer chain.

Found by breaks.py reading the model against itself, not written by hand, each one is a shape of missing record, not a fault in the data. The whole set is on the questions page.
