Karnataka's survey boundaries are published by KGIS (Karnataka Geographic Information System, KSRSAC). Karnataka LandGrid shows that data over satellite imagery for all 31 districts, and sells a printable PDF of a whole village with every survey number. Use it for reference and to locate land; the legal record is the survey sketch and RTC.
What a village survey map shows
A village survey map (cadastral map) draws every survey number in the village as a parcel with its number inside. It answers "which survey number is this field?" and "what lies next to it?", which documents alone cannot.
Online: satellite map with survey numbers
Karnataka LandGrid draws the survey boundaries over satellite imagery so you can match parcels to roads, bunds, wells and buildings. It covers all 31 districts, organised as district → taluk → village, the way Karnataka's records are. The app is coming soon to Google Play and the App Store.
PDF: the whole village on one sheet
The Village Survey Map PDF shows every survey number and boundary of a village on a high-resolution A3 sheet you can print or carry to the field. Pick the district, taluk and village, see how many survey numbers it has and the price, and pay once; the PDF opens on screen and is emailed to you.
Where the data comes from
The boundaries come from publicly available KGIS data, developed by the Karnataka State Remote Sensing Applications Centre. Karnataka LandGrid is independent and is not affiliated with the Government of Karnataka. For the official survey sketch, use the Department of Survey, Settlement and Land Records through the land records portal or your taluk office.
Limits to keep in mind
- Areas are calculated from the mapped boundary and can differ from the RTC extent.
- Reserve forests, tanks, river beds and many town areas are not part of the rural survey, so no parcels show there.
- Recent sub-divisions (new hissas) may not appear until the source data is updated.
Frequently asked questions
Is this map the official survey sketch?
No. It shows publicly available KGIS boundaries for reference. The official survey sketch comes from the survey department.
Which districts are covered?
All 31 districts of Karnataka.
What do I get in the village map PDF?
One high-resolution A3 PDF with every survey number and boundary in the chosen village, delivered on screen and by email.
Why are some areas empty?
Forests, tanks, river beds and many town areas are outside the rural revenue survey, so they have no survey numbers.
