Plat map Halifax Company Lands Ormond Volusia Florida

SOLD

Halifax Company Lands : being a subdivision of J. and E. Ormond Grant, Robert McHardy Grant, and Mary Kunner Grant.

DESCRIPTION: SOLD

A plat map for Halifax Company Lands in Volusia County, Florida. This plat reflects the desire to subdivide the land into smaller lots for residential and commercial use . Shows manuscript crayon notations (in red) "Bunnell 9 mi." and "Rt. 1", for Ridgewood Avenue a stretch of the Dixie Highway, as it turned west to Bunnell, Florida through what is today the Halifax Plantation area.

Rare early cyanotype (blueprint) plat of the subdivision of Halifax in Volusia County, Florida (near Bulow Creek State Park and northwest of Ormond Beach), bounded to the west by the Old King's Road. An updated plat of the area previously platted as the Harwood Subdivision in 1888 by Norman Harwood (see our stock number 5314). In comparison to P. D. Roger's 1888 plat of the same area, this map shows no indication of land use (hammocks, islands, marsh) suggesting that the land was drier by this date.

The plat shows the tomb of James Ormond II who died September 30, 1829 (now Ormond Tomb State Park).

Some of the differences between this plat and the earlier plat of Harwood (1888) include:

Most of the streets are re-named. What is today "the Old Dixie Highway" was named Ridgewood Avenue. The Dixie Highway was constructed between 1915 and 1929.
Bead, Knox & Bead canal is shown entering Bulow Creek.
Many new building sites are platted north of Ormond Tomb on both sides of Ridgewood Avenue.
Plat clearly shows the north and south boundaries of the Ormond Grant.
This plat shows in more detail and names the extent of the Mary Kunner grant.
Harwood Grove Company plot is now labeled Halifax Grove Reservation, reflecting a change in ownership.

The map highlights local parks and recreational activities including scuba diving, golf, fishing, sailing, and surfing. <br><br> Maui, the second-largest island in Hawaii, has a rich history dating back to ancient Polynesian settlers. The island was first settled by Polynesians who navigated the Pacific Ocean using the stars, arriving in Hawaii around 400-800 AD. These early settlers developed a complex society with a strict social hierarchy and a subsistence economy based on fishing and agriculture. <br><br> In the late 18th century, European explorers arrived in Hawaii, with Captain James Cook being the first recorded European to visit Maui in 1778. The island later became a center for the whaling industry and a popular port for ships traveling between North America and Asia. <br><br> Lahaina, located on the west coast of Maui, was once the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom in the early 19th century. It was also a major whaling port and a center of commerce. Today, Lahaina is a popular tourist destination known for its historic buildings, art galleries, and restaurants. <br><br> Kapalua, situated on the northwest coast of Maui, was once a plantation growing pineapples and coffee. In the 1970s, the area was transformed into a resort destination featuring world-class golf courses, luxurious accommodations, and pristine beaches. <br><br> Haleakala, a massive shield volcano that forms the eastern portion of Maui, is a significant feature of the island. The volcano's crater is a popular destination for hiking, stargazing, and watching the sunrise. In 1916, Haleakala National Park was established to protect the unique volcanic landscape and the endemic species that inhabit the area. <br><br>

The map, created in 1959, celebrates Alaska's admission to the Union as the 49th state on January 3 of the same year. Chase's signature style, combining attractive illustrations with geographical information, provides a unique perspective on this momentous event in American history. <br><br> The Chase's map incorporates an alphanumeric grid system to help users easily locate specific points of interest. Surprisingly, the map retains its original advertising sticker, prominently displayed in the upper left corner, bearing a price of 50 cents. The presence of the sticker serves as a testament to its authenticity, further enhancing its overall value and desirability. <br><br> The map showcases various aspects of Alaskan life, including its natural resources, industries, and cultural heritage. Chase depicts the state's diverse landscapes, from the rugged coastlines to the majestic mountain ranges, highlighting the beauty and vastness of America's last frontier. <br><br> Chase's map also chronicles the historical events leading up to Alaska's statehood, such as the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867, known as "Seward's Folly," and the discovery of gold in the late 19th century, which led to the Klondike Gold Rush. The map portrays the development of Alaska's major cities, including Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau, as well as the growth of its industries, such as fishing, mining, and logging. <br><br>

Details	1913	Green--Lewis-Henry	Early-Plat-of-Royal-Park-Palm-Beach-Florida	Brochure (9" x 8") with a detailed plat of the Royal Park addition in Palm Beach, Florida. The Royal Park addition was one of the earliest planned developments in Palm Beach, Florida, developed starting around 1908, three years before Palm Beach was incorporated, in 1911. Royal Park was developed by Elisha Newton "Cap" Dimick, Palm Beach's first mayor, and early developers who had previously worked on the development of the Palm Beach Inn (later known as The Breakers hotel). <br><br> Dimick and his business partners marketed Royal Park as an exclusive residential community, featuring large lots, ocean to lake access, and Mediterranean Revival style architecture. In 1913, Lewis Henry Green, a wealthy Mexican-born real estate agent and investor from California, started working for the Royal Park subdivision in Palm Beach, Florida. He employed a game plan of splashy advertising, auctions, and prize giveaways for buyers. Green's dubbing of Royal Park as "the Millionaire's Playground" sparked significant interest in the development. <br><br> Tours of the "playground" were handled by W.E. Watson, a businessman who helped promote the project with two 24-seat vehicles that made the rounds. Green offered prizes daily at afternoon auctions held three days a week on Royal Palm Way, opposite the new bridge. At the first auction, 600 to 800 people attended, buying lots at around $375 each. <br><br> Royal Park sold out by 1917. Completed and settled a year later with eclectic bungalows, gabled Victorians, and front-porch cottages, the subdivision's burgeoning prominence would shift the town's center southward, paving the way for the 1920s dawn of Worth Avenue.
