In Kenya, there are various types of maps that are used for registration of land. However, the most famous map especially in the rural areas is the Registry Index Map. This is because it is easy to produce by simple chain survey and air survey methods. It has therefore been used for registration of large protions of Kenya, which would otherwise have taken a long time. It is used for various purposes among them being first registration of land, subdivision of small scale and large scale farms, rural planning and solution of boundary disputes.
