On monday,we went to Brooklyn Historical Society and we learned about three different types of maps. one of the map is a Railroad map and the other 2 is cadastral map . One of the cadastral map is also consider as a manufacture map. These 3 map depicts in different ways, When was the map made and why did it still survive today. Looking at the map on monday, some of the place still exist now. Back in the 1942, the subway cost 25 cent a ride , now it costed $2.25. Back then, the subways wasn’t called MTA, it was called Hamstroms. We had 2 property maps and with my group, we saw some interesting details and it also shows the owner’s name one the building that is on the map. One of the map was drawn by hand.

To be clear, Hamstrom’s was the publisher of the map, the way that Kendall Hunt published our textbook. It would be interesting to find out, though, when the New York Transit Authority became the Metropolitan Transit Authority, and why–and what impact that has had if any.
Would you add the word cadastral to the glossary?
