Jargon: Cadastral -- November 10, 2025

Locator: 49386B.

This is really, really cool.

In eighteen years of following the Bakken fairly closely, I had not come across this word: cadastral.

I have no idea how I missed that word all these years.

But today a reader sent me a note in which he/she used that word. I was embarrassed. I had not seen that word before, and if I had, I skipped over, missed it (if so, my bad, sorry.

For those who may have also missed this word:

Another word that I learned from the Bakken years ago: riparian, and interestingly, the reader used "cadastral" when reminiscing over the high-water mark controversy of some years ago, which, I suppose could be called a riparian issue. Pretty amazing how things all seem to come together.  

Wow, I love this blog. LOL.
