Kulmamerkitsintä

Kulmamerkitsintä, also known as corner marking or edge marking, is a technique used in cartography and land surveying to define the precise corners of a property or parcel of land. It involves the physical placement of markers or monuments at these designated points. These markers serve as unambiguous and permanent references for property boundaries.

The purpose of kulmamerkitsintä is to eliminate disputes over land ownership and usage. By clearly indicating the corners, it provides a visual and tangible representation of where one property ends and another begins. This is particularly important in areas with complex property lines, historical boundaries, or where there is potential for encroachment.

The types of markers used can vary widely depending on local regulations, the terrain, and the desired permanence. Common examples include concrete posts, rebar driven into the ground, stone monuments, or even specially designed metal pins. In some cases, natural features like large rocks or trees may be designated as corner markers if they are sufficiently permanent and identifiable.

The process of establishing kulmamerkitsintä typically involves a licensed surveyor. They use precise measurement tools and techniques, often referencing official cadastral maps and legal descriptions, to locate the exact corner points. Once identified, the marker is installed and documented. The existence and location of these markers are usually recorded in official land registries, forming part of the legal record of property ownership.
