Maps serve a number of uses; this map records land ownership as shown by the names of people next to the buildings they own. Maps such as this served as a guide made for a local audience that would have used them to find people or businesses. Today these maps help us understand settlement patterns, as we can easily see the relationship between roads, natural features, and man made things.
