Die historiese grootte en die moderne opgemete oppervlakte is twee aparte metings en word hier nie aangebied asof hulle mekaar bevestig nie. Die eerste is wat 'n landmeter op 'n kaart geskryf het, gewoonlik in morg. Die tweede is wat die moderne kadaster teken.

Navorsingsnotas

[9 Aug 2026, SRC-342] A FARM THIS MODEL DID NOT HOLD, added from its own diagram. SG 765/1873: "The annexed Figure bordered green represents a Piece of CROWN LAND called WIT POORTJE containing 5168 Morgen 300 Square Roods of Land situated in the Division of PRINCE ALBERT, Field-cornetcy of GOUPH No.3", surveyed 1872 by J.W. du T. MELVILL, Government Surveyor, examined by L. MARQUARD. Bounded North by AMOS POORTJE, North East and South East by WOLVE KRAAL, South by ZOUT WATER, South West by ZEEKOEGAT, and North West by TRAKAS KUILEN. Titled P.A.Q.2-26 on 1 JULY 1879.

THE SHEET CHECKS ITSELF IN TWO UNITS. Beside the morgen it states "Area in English Measure = 10939.34 Acres". 5,168.5 morgen is 4,427.0 ha is 10,939.32 acres, which is 0.0002% from the stated figure. Two units written by one hand and they agree.

IT WAS ALREADY NAMED HERE FROM THE OTHER SIDE. PAR-000179's neighbour ring lists "the Remainder of Wit Poortje", and this farm's own boundary list names ZEEKOEGAT (PAR-000013, where Frederik Simon OosthuizenM built the church) and TRAKAS KUILEN (PAR-000180/181, processed 8 Aug). The ring closes from both directions.

"Beacons pointed out to M. BOOYENS" - a man on the ground in 1872, named on the sheet and in no other record here.

The form asks for the Estimated Latitude and Longitude of Centre and BOTH ARE BLANK.

NOTE THE TITLE DATE: P.A.Q.2-26 of 1 July 1879. PAR-000099 carries title P.A.2-21 of the SAME DAY, an adjacent folio in the same volume. Whether 1 July 1879 is another grant run like 15 April 1841 is worth asking. [TO VERIFY]

[9 Aug 2026] NOW ON THE MAP, and the cadastre is the third unit to agree. match_cadastre pinned this row to W052C061000000000016000000 at 4,407.8 ha, against the 1873 sheet's 5,168 morgen 300 roods = 4,427.0 ha: 0.43% apart. So the sheet's morgen, the sheet's own acre figure and the modern polygon all describe the same ground.

Werknotas, hier gewys omdat dit 'n private navorsingsbou is.

Die werksnotas op hierdie werf word in Engels gehou en word nie vertaal nie. Hulle verander met elke navorsingsessie, en 'n vertaling sou uit pas raak met die oorspronklike. Alles anders — die stories, die getranskribeerde dokumente en die koppelvlak — is in Afrikaans.

Wat die rekord kortkom

“Wolve Kraal” is named as a neighbour 2 times and we hold no parcel for it third order · B3 unheld-farm
2 separate surveys in this model put Wolve Kraal on the boundary of ground we do hold (PAR-000153, PAR-000182). It has no parcel of its own here, so nothing is known about who held it or when, while it borders farms at the centre of the project.

What would settle it The Surveyor-General's farm index for the registration division will give it a farm number and a diagram; the cadastre pull in `data/fetch_cadastre.py` then places it on the map.
“Zout Water” is named as a neighbour 2 times and we hold no parcel for it third order · B3 unheld-farm
2 separate surveys in this model put Zout Water on the boundary of ground we do hold (PAR-000176, PAR-000182). It has no parcel of its own here, so nothing is known about who held it or when, while it borders farms at the centre of the project.

What would settle it The Surveyor-General's farm index for the registration division will give it a farm number and a diagram; the cadastre pull in `data/fetch_cadastre.py` then places it on the map.
Nobody is on record as ever having held this third order · B8 never-held
Wit Poortje Nr. 16 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.
