How would you interpret the attached plat? Specifically, what do you think the purpose or intent behind the lines surrounding the blocks are? The blocks appear to be made up of 24 lots (25' x 140') with some soft of 10' buffer on the outside. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? By scaling alone, the right-of-way widths actually go to that 10' line and not to the 25x140 lot lines. This is making me scratch my head a little. I'd love to hear what someone else thinks.

Interesting.
Says they are Platting the sw 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Sec 19.
Nominal dimensions would be 1320x1320
This Plat adds up to 1400 x 1380.
What do the on the ground measurements of the Blocks or sectionalized parent piece measure?
How do on the ground use lines fit?
How have similar Plats of this era or this Surveyor been established and laid out on the ground?

It could be for sidewalks and curbs.

Good questions. The 40 is actually irregular being that it's section 19. That said it's not anywhere close to the platted dimensions. The GLO dims are roughly 1240' a wide and 1310' tall (roughly without looking at the GLO plat again). Actual measured lines aren't known. The land was never developed. No improvements at all. The land is almost impassable mountain terrain. No lot corners to be found at all. The section is not monumented well either. Another weird thing is the same "developer" and surveyor platted the SE of the NW of 19 about 2 years earlier. That plat looks the same minus the 10' buffers around the lots, but it was never developed either. Nothing to be found. So that plat is 1320 x 1320, which is closer to GLO dimensions.
I don't know whether the 10' line is a drafting error, or is supposed to be something relevant. I can't imagine what it would be. Having exterior dimensions would answer a few questions.
Corbitt,
PS#0111 (11/10/1989) measured the East line = 1359.40'; South line = 1280.22'; does not show streets.
PS#1438 (12/23/2010) measured the East line = 1360.16'; South line = 1280.22'; does show the 10 foot strips hatched the same as the street right of way.
MGM_201108180 (Mortgage 2/7/2011 for $1,750,000.00) "LESS and EXCEPT the Streets and Alleyways in the platted and unplatted part of what is and formerly Lincoln Avenue Place Interurban Addition to the City of Little Rock, Arkansas, as shown on plat recorded in Plat Book 7, Page 117, records of Pulaski County, Arkansas."
Little Rock Ordinance #20,783 (9/05/2013) Reclassified the zoning from R-2, Single Family District to M, Mining District.
I could not find where the streets and alleys have ever been vacated. I do, however, like the platted street names...makes it sound line this subdivision is located in downtown Little Rock.
