LAND SITE SURVEYS AND PLOT PLANS

Registration Sheet July 2000

Introduction

This Record Group consists of blueprints, drawings and sketches of site surveys of personal and commercial properties in Stamford, Connecticut. In most cases, these plans are based on surveyors' measurements and, in the instance, the surveyor and the date of the survey are indicated. Often site surveys were conducted on property to be sold or transferred as part of the distribution of an estate. Where known, this information is provided in the listing.

The site surveys in this Record Group are organized by survey date within Block # within Section, as defined in the official Stamford Block Map dated December 16, 1927, copy of which may be found in the Stamford Historical Society Research Library Map Collection and in the Stamford Town Clerk's office.

The Section/Block Number designations, as identified in this reference, are unchanged to the present day.
