Cadastral Maps and Plans


This Collection consists of over 20,000 maps containing information on land holdings and the internal layout of estates and plantations covering the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This collection is unique to the region. Material from it was used as the basis for Barry Higman's Jamaica Surveyed: Plantation Maps and Plans for the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries, published by the Institute of Jamaica in 1998.
