Papa Haydn is hard to avoid if you like a great dessert( and good food) and St Honores, with all the French pastries and breads is another place I miss.?ÿ And hell. Any of the McMinnamins.
in fact, there's so much friggin good food almost every time I go back I find other places I need to visit.
seriously.

Uh... Yeah if he is going to be in SE, then Papa Haydn is pretty close. If dessert is something the visitor enjoys, then that is the place!
?ÿI'll find out if the pub is the one that my son and his wife eat at on the way to the Timbers games.
It might be, but you can't swing a bob-tailed cat by the tail without hitting a pub in Portland...
It is just that the Ramsey Map only shows the streets that were monumented. I was serious about it lacking detail.

Mark - I noticed on your survey you didn't have Ramsey record distances/bearings and was going to go all CS red ink about it till I saw the Ramsey survey. Lines and dots. No more, no less. Nonetheless, the distances are really really good, presuming that they were set at even feet

The plat, dated 1869, is also short on dimensions - except for the statement in longhand script that "all blocks are 200 feet square and all streets are 60 feet wide" - as is typical for that era.
Had a wonderful trip a few months back and took several of the suggestions from you all. I can see why my son and his wife love living out there. I enjoy coming across monuments while looking around. Came across this one in Cannon Beach. Light rain, cold, and cappuccino from a local shop in hand. The stamping is curious to me.

maybe the stamper needed additional coffee or a new prescription for his glasses that day...lost an N and gained an O...
oh my....
Lysdexia is a real thing. ?????ÿ

It might very well be that "Cannon" is misspelled.
LS1979 is the licensee's license number. Mr. 1979 has an good reputation.

1990... That is unique, as far as I can tell, to Oregon. Subdivision Maps must have an "Initial Point" designated on the exterior boundary of the map. So, your photo shows the Initial Point of a subdivision, I presume set in 1990.
A nearby city contains a Malcolm Avenue.?ÿ It was named for a pioneer family that settled in the area long before the city existed.?ÿ I read somewhere that their name wasn't really Malcolm.?ÿ It might have been McClom or MacLomn or something else.?ÿ Can't remember for sure, now. Maybe it was McCalm or McCallum.?ÿ It wasn't Macomb.
A nearby town was named ending in two L's.?ÿ The railroad station, however, somehow, had only one L.?ÿ The namesake had two L's, so that was the correct spelling.
LS 1979 is Dale Barrett. His firm had a stranglehold on surveying on the Oregon Coast for years. Also active in PLSO. I'm pretty sure that he is still AGL, although I think that he is now retired to the Bend area.?ÿ He recorded 64 surveys in Clatsop County in 1990. Can you pin down the general location for us?
I can't say for sure , but we were walking back from the beach from where the Wayfarer Restaurant is along W Gower Ave. It was in a sidewalk on what I assumed was a RW intersection.?ÿ I'm pretty sure it was on the west side of S. Hemlock.?ÿ I was taking in a bunch of information so the location is rough.Cool monument though.
Here is a link to a survey I did immediate adjoining the west margin of Ladd's Addition. It is rather unique for its recovery and reliance upon the four "Ramsey points"?ÿ?ÿ
It looks like Ramsey described the monuments as "aluminum points with brass markers," but your map legend describes "brass pin in lead."?ÿ Did Ramsey misidentify his metals, or am I looking at the wrong legend?

The sidewalk points are aluminum with a brass tack. The centerline points are a more substantial brass pin, perhaps 1/8" diameter, in what seems to be lead. But it could be aluminum. It is not easy to tell, and I'm loath to linger over them in the middle of the street.?ÿ?ÿ
