Michael Conzen's scholarly work is the key to understanding the
importance of county land ownership maps, plat books, and county
atlases for the growth of commercial map publishing in the United
States during the 19th century.
Thanks, Heiko.
Going for more ancient roots:
The Cadastral Map in the Service of the State: A History of
Property Mapping by Roger Kain and Elizabeth Baigent:
University of Chicago Press, 1992. This is an extensive and
scholarly treatise that links politics, property and cartography.
This was the winner of the 1991 Kenneth Nebenzahl Prize for the best
new manuscript in the history of cartography. The historical scope
ranges from ancient Rome through the nineteenth century,
predominantly focused on Europe and its later colonies.
