{wiki=Josephinian_Land_Survey}
The Josephinian Land Survey, also known as the Josephinian Cadastre, was a systematic survey of land carried out in the late 18th century, primarily in the Habsburg Monarchy, under the reign of Emperor Joseph II. Initiated around 1785, this survey aimed to create a detailed and accurate record of landownership, land use, and agricultural potential in the empire, which included regions that are now parts of modern Austria, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, among others.
