In this work the analysis on description of rural settlements boundaries of the Republic of Bashkortostan, based on the experience of other sub-federal units of Russian Federation was made. A range of weak points in collected input data was defined. In total, of 54 municipal districts of the Republic of Bashkortostan (818 rural settlements), 44 districts showed nonconformity of feed data details to regulatory requirements. And the main reason for this is a low quality of input materials such as base maps at scale 1 : 100 000 – 1 : 200 000, while in neighboring districts equivalent works were performed according to topographic maps at scales 1 : 10 000 и 1:25 000. All these factors lead to different errors in boundary alignment with neighboring sub-federal units of Russian Federation, as well as boundary intersections of land plots recorded before in state immovable property cadaster and boundaries of municipal entities. This article presents specific methods of boundaries description which enables increasing the work’s performance accuracy.
