Research notes

[3 Aug 2026, SRC-216] Surveyed April 1921 in the field cornetcy of KREEDOUW. The diagram carries both the original 2722 morgen 78 sq roods and a later metric endorsement of 2331,5914 ha; those agree to within 0,1% at the morgen factor, so the endorsement is a conversion and not a resurvey. It sits on the Zwartberg side, bounded by Roode Els Bosch, HAGAS, UITNOOD, Kolberg and Crown Land - a different corner of the division from the Traka ward this project mostly follows, and it is here because it adjoins farms already drawn.

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
De Vlei No. 176 is in the model and drawn on the map, 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.
