Spanish Land Grants

Maps: Past and Present

Included below are eight examples of maps from the collection. For purposes of comparison, four different types of maps have been cropped and scaled to show the grant parcel for each example. The first image in each series shows the map that has been cropped from the original document. The second image is a rendering of the same map with the text translated to english. The third image is a cropped portion from the USGS 7.5-minute topographic map series showing the subject area. The fourth image is a cropped portion from an aerial photo (USGS digital orthophoto) showing the subject area.
