Description
English:

The 1927 map pictured here was created by the Seattle City Engineer's office. It shows a roughly 12-block area of downtown Seattle between Yesler Way and Jackson Street, and Third Avenue and Fifth Avenue, on land platted as D. S. Maynard's Addition to the City of Seattle. The map shows the locations where new posts and street lamps were to be placed, and includes a diagram of the preferred method of wiring street lights "to obtain minimum voltage drop."
