194764270Portland OR: Oregon Blue Print Co. 1947-1959. Oblong atlas folio. 21 x 17.5 in. 52 leaves not contiguously numbered. all dyazo-print whjteprint maps w/ first consisting of a large folding “Oswego Oregon Street Map†many leaves w/ creasing corners worn some with closed tears secured at gutter margin w/ 4 brass split-pins over thick brown paper stock still a VG- exemplar. First edition thus of this exceedingly rare realty atlas for Oswego Oregon chronicling its’ explosive growth following World War II prior to the consolidation with surrounding suburbs and renaming as the City of Lake Oswego in 1960. These real estate atlases were sold in installments to Lake Oswego & Portland area real estate agents land use boards and public institutions with installments appearing from 1947-1959 but the Oswego atlas sheets are far scarcer than even the very rare Portland issues. Oswego and surrounding suburbs such as Alto Park Acres Forest Hills Lake Grove Rainbow Terrace Uplands Crest and Woodmont were all developed initially by the Ladd Estate Company which first platted the area with Paul C. Murphy overseeing the design with the aid of of Frederick & John Olmsted to create a park like setting around the Lake. This atlas with key map opening details the evolution from 1947-1959 the street-by-street and plat-by-plat of the surrounding area providing essential information on the emergence of these suburbs from the original donation land claims as the city grew from about 1500 to over 10000 by 1959. The more than 100 new residential plats created from the original donation land claims throughout the Lake Oswego area including the plats on the south side of South Shore Drive which created the Palisades Neighborhood and just prior to the July 2 1959 annexation which brought all of Oswego Lake parts of Lake Grove Palisades and others in the Lake Grove Sanitary District all evolve through these maps. Researchers can trace the evolution of the Portland-Salem Expressway later called the Baldock Freeway and further developed into the I-5 corridor alongside Lake Oswego along with the rapid growth of the area. Original Donation Land Claims are clearly demarcated including those of Charles Brown Bryant Waters Carman Albert Durham and many others. Oregon Blue Print Co. was established on SE Hawthorne in Portland OR by the early 1940’s and were the printers for the Pittmon maps which were extensively used and continually updated in the Portland area. Under Walter & Min Underwood the company focused on blueprinting and engineering plans as well as land promotion brochures and street maps. Company still remains family owned. It appears that later versions of the Oswego Oregon Street Map were used as land promotion brochures and some early versions do survive in holdings of Lake Oswego City Government and 1 in OHS but no other examples are located in Worldcat. No similar versions of this atlas have survived in institutional holdings that this cataloguer could identify accurately.

189056329Yamada Village Japan: n.p. ca. 1890. 4to. 7.5 x 11 in. 354 pp index maps & sections separately paginated. entirely in original manuscript with over 250 plat and section maps many double-page some folding many w/ additions tipped-in or laid-in as supplemental overlays and many w/ additional manuscript annotations most hand-coloured throughout. Original beige limp boards punch-sewn at gutter margin title in manuscript on front cover some scuffing wear occasional internal worming mildly affecting some maps still a VG- exemplar. An extraordinary Meiji-era manuscript real estate plat map atlas for the Yamada Village and environs of the Keta District in present-day northern Hyogo Prefecture. Traditionally ruled over by descendants of the Miwabe-no-Atai clan this real estate atlas volume encompasses hundreds of plat maps tied to outline maps with the plats all numbered and many colour-coded with colour coding to the opening index. The creator of this map atlas appears to have been commissioned by local land agents following the economic expansion after the opening of the Hyogo Harbor in 1867 for foreign trade while quickly became one of the largest trading ports in Japan. The Tajima province is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Kobe Beef or Tajima Wagyu traditionally compact working cattle with a calm nature but which quickly came into high demand as Kobe Beef in the late 1880s as the large foreign trading and tourist community desired beef and the Tajima cattle were especially desired. This also contributed to a rising demand for land in which to raise the Tajima Wagyu cattle and land prices. At the same time the nearby coast also began slowly developing a small tourist trade and coastal resorts. The map sections include No. 5 -- Kitakami no machi; No. 11 -- Sampo no matsu; No. 12 - Shita takimiya; No. 13 - Okawahara; No. 14 - Takimiya; No. 30 - Kita shitaya as well as No. 36 - Kawahara. In April 1896 the Keta District was dissolved and merged into the Kinosaki District along with the Mikumi District and became the Hyogo Prefecture anchored by the city of Kobe. The additional supplemental pieces tipped-in others laid-in and the many add-ons to the folding map with many bearing annotations indicate that this was a meticulously maintained working document for Meiji land agents.
