Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Osoyoos Division Yale Land District is one of the 59 land districts of British Columbia, Canada, which are the underlying cadastral divisions of that province.[1][2] All land titles and surveys use the Land District system as the primary point of reference, and entries in BC Names for placenames and geographical objects are so listed.
The Yale Land District and its four divisions (Yale, Similkameen, Osoyoos and Kamloops Divisions) were created with the rest of those on Mainland British Columbia via the Lands Act of the Colony of British Columbia in 1860. The British Columbia government's BC Names system, a subdivision of GeoBC, defines a land district as "a territorial division with legally defined boundaries for administrative purposes" [3]
It also comments that "Yale Land District" is an incomplete descriptor, and that it is only a loose term, as the four subdivisions are all treated as Land Districts in their own right.
