THE VERSO is where the nine morgen stop being a field and start being a TOWN. The printed deduction table - "THE FOLLOWING DEDUCTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE FROM THIS DIAGRAM", with columns for Survey Records, Diagram No., Subdivision, Area and Deed - is RULED BUT EMPTY. No portion was ever cut off Portion 1 and sold as a piece of land. Instead a single line runs across the whole table: "FOR SUBDIVISION OF PORTION K25 VIDE GENERAL PLAN K25", with the diagram column reading K25 and the date 30.1.1901. WHAT THAT MEANS, stated as the inference it is. A general plan is not a farm diagram; it is the drawing made when ground is laid out into ERVEN and streets. So on 30 January 1901 the nine morgen of arable - the one ploughable piece of Klaarstroom, the piece with the werf on it, the first piece ever cut out and sold - was surveyed into lots. The town of Klaarstroom stands on this farm (STO-0014), and on the evidence of this sheet it stands on THIS PORTION of it, laid out by General Plan K25. The chain is good but not closed: the sheet says "General Plan K25", it does not say "Klaarstroom village" or "erven", and this project has not yet seen K25 itself. Read it as a strong inference from the instrument and the ground, not as a finding. To close it, order General Plan K25 (30 January 1901) from the Surveyor-General. [TO VERIFY] THE DATE IS WORTH A SECOND LOOK EITHER WAY: ten years after the 1891 gold rush that brought strangers into this basin (S007), and in the middle of the Anglo-Boer War.

Woordeliks gehou. Hierdie projek weerspreek gepubliseerde genealogieë en stel 'n familie se eie mondelinge oorlewering reg, so elke bewering moet nagegaan kan word deur iemand wat nie in die vertrek was nie.
