#5: Cadastral Map

A Cadastral map is used to show legal property boundaries, it represents relative positions and dimensions of land and can also show streets and other features in the area. This map is of the Olmstead Park in 1909, the area is now a neighborhood in the Alameda District in Northeast Portland. The map shows sizes and shapes of each individual lot as well the streets, their names, and sizes.
