Series II: Oversize

Scope and content:

Arranged into Virginia real estate maps and plats (Sub-series A), out-of-state real estate maps and plats (Sub-series B), and miscellaneous and unidentified real estate maps and plats (Sub-series C). Sub-series A and Sub-series B principally contain larger items that were removed from Series I, Sub-series A and Sub-series B. Oversized items with corresponding files in Series I have been noted within each folder and catalogued in this aid under identical headings. Consequently, this series' sub-series are arranged congruently with Series I.

Sub-series A and B mainly contain maps and blueprints depicting plats purchased, bought, and sold by George B. Lorraine. Of note are United States geological and topographical survey maps and Virginia primary and secondary highway maps denoting locations of properties, survey maps, and blueprints depicting architectural features, crop placement, and landscape features. While maps and plats comprise the bulk of these sub-series, other oversize material may be included in each folder. This smaller amount of material includes advertisements, deeds, floor plans, and aerial photographs.

Sub-series C is unidentified real estate maps and plats and miscellaneous oversize material consisting of United States Army Corps of Engineers geological survey maps, Virginia highway maps, tourist road maps, a genealogical chart for the Fitzhugh-Grymes family of King George County, Virginia, a Stan Fenelle drawing of Secretariat, and a Louisa County Soil Survey. United States Army Corps of Engineers maps and Virginia highway maps may contain property locations and descriptions of unidentified properties.
