RE/123 on the cadastre · on record 1934 · show on the map

Farm number: No. 123
Portion: Remainder
On the cadastre: RE/123, remainderregistered as KOPJES KRAAL
District: Prince Albert
Extent, as the diagram states it: ~2654.69 morgen (derived)
Modern surveyed area: 2279.9 ha

The historic extent and the modern surveyed area are two separate measurements and are not presented here as confirming each other. The first is what a surveyor wrote on a diagram, usually in morgen. The second is what the modern cadastre draws.

[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 "Kopjes Kraal Remainder" before. Nothing about the ground changed.

[14 Aug 2026, FAMILY] THE HOUSE STANDS ON THIS PARCEL. Frans gave the Kopjes Kraal homestead as -33.214787, 22.711236; a point-in-polygon test puts it inside this remainder rather than inside Kromrivier, the farm's Portion 1, 3.3 km north. Recorded as a place in its own right - see the werf row in places.csv - because the cadastre records title and not what people call the ground they live on.

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
Kopjes Kraal No. 123 Remainder 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.
