McKownville - maps of property and development lots
The property subdivision maps linked here (all are pdf files) are
those in the Association's files. As can be seen, the collection is
incomplete.
Some of the maps are not high quality, being dependent on the
available paper (or microfilm) source copy.
Lots shown on each of the most recent of these maps, for the area it
covers, are in most cases the same as on the present day Albany
County tax maps,
now in digital form and available
online. McKownville covered by maps: 52.04, 52.15, 52.16, 52.19, 52.20, 63.00, 63.07, 63.08, 63.12
However, most of the original maps show more information than just
the lot outlines and numbers.
