Talk:Neartown Houston/block book maps

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's good to keep track of the pages in the Harris County block books indicating subdivision locations. Doing this helps clarify which areas are in which community, and they also show the history of Houston's development (replats are found). Also the county's map search system is missing pages, and some pages are out of order (sometimes the county search system brings up the wrong page :( ). That's why keeping track of them is important.

If you find new pages, archive both the JPGs (better quality) and PDFs (worse quality) on the Internet Archive, the former on Archive.is, and the latter on webcitation.org. both on Megalodon.jp
