The maps are on fragile paper with light toning along the fold lines and numerous short splits at the fold junctions. The first map (Streets Graded, Oiled and Accepted) and last map (Sanitary Sewers) have more pronounced toning along the folds with numerous fold separations along the vertical fold that have been repaired on verso with archival tape. One map has a small library stamp on verso.
