Research notes

A FARM MADE BY CONSOLIDATION IN 1948, not by grant. Kaart van Gekonsolideerde Titel, art. 24(c) of Act 9 of 1927, L.G. 8870/47, surveyed May 1947 by J.P.E. Hartwig and approved by the Surveyor-General on 17 March 1948; attached to Certificate of Consolidated Title 2168H of 21 September 1948. IT WAS MADE OF THREE PIECES, and two of them came off a farm this project already holds: (1) the REMAINDER OF SMALDEEL, diagram 1044/1873 - the sheet has an earlier number struck through and 1044/1873 written in; (2) a GEDEELTE VAN ZEEKOEGAT, diagram 203/1867, T.A. 1867.19.188; (3) a GEDEELTE VAN ZEEKOE GAT, diagram 166/1895, T.A. 1895.16.1123. The figure runs down the middle of the TRAKA RIVER. Beacons are klipstapels around railway sleepers and iron posts.

[7 Aug 2026] PINNED to the cadastre on key W052C061000000000024000000. The diagram gives 8347.0012 morgen = 7150 ha and the modern polygon measures 7194 ha, a difference of 1%.

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

Open questions

Which Rondabel - Tarka (east) or Traka (Koup)? priority 1 · LEAD-0014
Do the 1818 du Plessis and 1823 de Bruin inventories ('leeningsplaats Rondabel aan de Tarca / in Tarka') describe the Prince Albert Rondabel No. 124 (PAR-000009), or a namesake loan farm in the eastern-Cape Tarka?

What would settle it Placing Greyling's or van Wyk's veldkornetskap, or a loan-farm register entry locating the leeningsplaats Rondabel.

What the record is missing

“Klein Antjes Fontein” is named as a neighbour 3 times and we hold no parcel for it second order · B3 unheld-farm
3 separate surveys in this model put Klein Antjes Fontein on the boundary of ground we do hold (PAR-000178, PAR-000179, PAR-000181). 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.
“Gedeelte 6 van Antjes Fontein” 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 Gedeelte 6 van Antjes Fontein on the boundary of ground we do hold (PAR-000178, PAR-000179). 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.
“Restant van Wit Poortje” 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 Restant van Wit Poortje on the boundary of ground we do hold (PAR-000178, PAR-000179). 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.

“Restant van Zeekoe Gat” 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 Restant van Zeekoe Gat on the boundary of ground we do hold (PAR-000178, PAR-000179). 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.

“Trakas Kuilen” 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 Trakas Kuilen on the boundary of ground we do hold (PAR-000178, PAR-000179). 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
Leeukraal No. 24 (consolidated) 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.
