Abstract
This paper presents the problem of cadastral maps. The hitherto existing cadastre, consisting of paper maps and land registers, is now becoming insufficient. Its shortcomings force developments leading to its improvement. One of the ways is the creation of a Land Information System. A digital cadastral map is the main component of this system. The structure and information content of the map is presented, its differences from analogue maps are shown, and the process of map creation is described. A digital cadastral map can be the basis for additional thematic layers, successively converting it into a complex system for management of administrative units. Some examples of such layers and their usage are presented here.

Summary
The cadastre was created for fiscal purposes. This was already the case in Antiquity (Assyria, Egypt, Rome). EVOLUTION These shortcomings have forced the improvement and upgrading of the cadastre, which can be observed in many countries These processes evoke both model changes and alterations of the systems’ unitary features. They tend to proceed in two directions: the expansion of the classical cadastre model to cover new issues; the construction of land information systems (LIS) and, more generally, geographic information systems (GIS), to a certain extent based upon the cadastre, which has already been running. The latter solution was chosen in Poland. Since 1991 the process of conversion of the existing cadastre from the analogue to digital form and creation of the basis of countrywide LIS is being realized
