Maps of the District of Columbia and City of Washington, and Plats of the Squares and Lots of the City of Washington

These maps were originally printed in pursuance of a resolution of the Senate of the United States. Originally published in 1852, these line-drawn maps detail division of property squares within the District of Columbia, showing lot division numbers, size, and measurements. Also, the plats show adjacent street names and occasionally note whether significant structures or reservations are involved. Anyone researching real estate within the District of Columbia during this time period will want to add this volume to their library.
