Atlas Plates

[root]

A number of years ago I purchased some Atlas Plates of a few boroughs that I've lived in. 30 years ago I paid 8 bucks apiece for these. THey've gone thru the roof since then These particulars plates date from 1906 and show all the property in acres and property owners along with existing buildings. These will come handy for locating possible dig sites. Anyone else use these as reference??
