Map Question

[zman1403]

Can anyone help me identify these map symbols. I have searched various map websites and came up empty. I am trying to figure out why the buildings have the X through them.

Tough to answer without knowing what kind of map you are on.

City, county, MGRS, TOPO, historical, engineering, maritime.... the list is endless.

Historical map from 1890. It was created by E. Robinson.

Tough one...

Here is a link, if you ask them, they should know.

Map people that know stuff.

I believe these are structures like barns and such.

Loco. You are right. I finally found a reference to the X in the building symbol.

Thanks
