Scope and Content Note

The series consists of maps, plans, deeds, correspondence, field notes, survey data, descriptions of lands, statements of water power, and other related working notes apparently created to analyze the condition and ownership of lands related to state facilities. Examples of facilities include the Schuyler Masion; Auburn Prison; Delhi Agriculture School; State Camp at Peekskill; John Boyd Thacher Park; Port Jefferson Harbor; and Ogdensburg State Hospital.

Records contain an alphanumeric file code presumably assigned by the office receiving the documents. The exact purpose and context of the records is unknown.
