Why this farm is here
In the model from the cadastre pull only, nothing in the record yet says who held this ground or why it belongs here. 71 km from Klaarstroom.
What the record holds, in order
No dated record on this parcel yet. It is on the map because the Surveyor-General has a polygon for it; the history is not transcribed.
Also bordered by, as the modern cadastre draws it
Ground that touches this farm on the Surveyor-General's current polygons and that none of the diagrams held here names. Derived from the geometry, not read off a document.
Research notes
[SRC-550] Drawn on SG 1911/1862, the (Registration) Plan of a portion of the FIELD CORNETCY OF TRAKA, Division of Prince Albert, framed from actual survey 1862 and stamped ADMIN DISTRICT WILLOWMORE. The Traka field cornetcy is PLC-000022 and straddles the Prince Albert / Willowmore boundary; the registration division here is Willowmore (C0830000), NOT Prince Albert, and a farm number is only unique inside a division. NO FAMILY HOLDING IS RECORDED ON THIS GROUND - the parcel is entered because the plan documents it, not because anybody here held it. Extent as written on the plan: [?21 665 M 310] - read off a low-resolution scan and NOT confirmed; the cadastre area alongside is the reliable figure.
The research behind this page, kept separate from it: dated working notes, open questions, and what is not yet settled.

Nobody is on record as ever having held this
third order · B8 never-held
Klipfontein No. 135 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.
