I would definitely take a look at the deed description, and post it here it you can. That might answer all of your questions
Like Dave Karoly, I get 1.3 Ac., but that's to the centerline of the streets.
The 50'å± strip on the lower end is another 0.33 Ac.
As far as the scale, it's right there in front of you. The bar scale shows what 136' is.
That makes the scale 1"=78'å± on my printout.
The angles are easily found with a protractor: 71å¡, 88å¡, 116å¡30', and 84å¡30'. All close enough for this problem.
My traverse had a 3.5' misclosure.
Hire a surveyor licensed in your state.
It seems that at least one poster above thinks that the BAR SCALE is correct on the above drawing. If we use the distances inside the green figure
and TRY to match them with the BAR SCALE ------ THEY DO NOT FIT. To help the above poster with his basic math this is what you would get.
The side with 309.56 measures on my print out as 3.552 inches long.
The side with 222.9? measures 2.950 inches long.
The side with 154.12 measures 1.158 inches long
Now the BAR SCALE measures 1.573 inches long or 1 inch = 88.37 feet
So 3.552 times 88.37 = 313.89; that does not equal 309.56 (close, but its the only one that is).
2.950 times 88.37 = 260.69 feet; that does not equal 222.9?
1.158 times 88.37 = 102.49 feet; that does not equal 154.12 feet
I don't care if you enlarge the map the side ratios and the BAR SCALE DO NOT FIT.
Why try to get good data from garbage. GET THE SURVEY DATA.

PS you don't need to use but some good scale as I did in my first post to show that the map and distances on it are crap.
The area was probably calculated long hand using DMD sheets. Someone forgot to divide by 2.
