There are literally hundreds of homeowners shown on these maps. Also shown are the many planned sections or sub-divisions which were uninhabited, yet the lots are shown. Please note that the homeowners names in the more populated sections are not shown due to the availability of space. However the homeowners names are present for the many larger homesteads. Some of the surnames which are clearly printed are Parks, Simon, Corsa, Cockburn, Seaman, Reynolds, Iselin, Dusenberry, Laird, Huntington, Mooney, Smith, Evans, Mayer, Ellis, Sterling, De Rham, Donohue and so many more that it's impossible to list! Also indicated on the maps are schools, named streets, railroads and rivers/streams.
It would indeed make quite a conversation piece as well as an excellent gift for that person who has everything!
What a great genealogical treasure to be able to locate the homes of one or more of your ancestors!
