District reference mapping does not certify permitted activities, planning treatments, permits or parcel building rights. No treatment layer is included. Plan revision processes are consulted separately in the official portal and are not presented as adopted regulations. Sources declare no overall data update date. Visible-area queries limited to 500 records and 2 MiB. Intersecting polygons retain their complete geometry; filters and statistics describe loaded records. Catalog publication or modification in 2025 does not turn the 2001 plan into a 2025 regulation.

Open Cartagena de Indias map →How to use the map
- Open the prepared query for this theme in the viewer. Locate an area using latitude, longitude coordinates or general place and address search.
- Review enabled layers and zoom to their query scale. Check each layer’s scope: it may query the visible area or the full municipal extent. An empty or unavailable service does not establish that no conditions apply.
- Select a feature on the map or in the Results list. Check its attributes, retrieval time and any partial-result notice.
- Choose a field and exact value to filter the layer. Export includes received results, with attribution and dates. Its coverage depends on the query scope and filters.
Local search and identifiers
Locate an area by coordinates or general address and place search, then select published polygons. A place match does not identify or certify a parcel. Read original categories and confirm applicable regulations with the Planning Department.
Cartagena’s official parcel consultation uses cadastral references; these are not Medellín’s CBML. GeoSAT does not locate parcels by cadastral reference or verify property registration identifiers. Use official MIDAS and Planning channels for parcel identification and land-use opinions.
