York deeds
York deeds is a published transcription of seventeenth-century land deeds from York County, Maine, issued in Portland by John T. Hull and compiled by the Maine Historical Society and Maine Genealogical Society for land-record researchers. Its pictures are hand-drawn plats and boundary sketches with cursive signatures and marginal notes, showing lot lines, river courses and compass roses, which a designer could borrow for quiet, schematic map-like linework and handwritten annotation.
