Railroad valuation maps, ca. 1916-1978

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84531468

The series consists of approximately 4,000 maps (24 x 56 inches, most drawn to a scale of 1 inch=100 feet). The maps are primarily reproductions of blueprint maps showing the right of way of some of the railroads (or portions of railroads) that owned real property in New York State.

In addition, the maps show town, village and county boundary lines, and often show adjacent structures and names of adjacent property owners.
