Parcels in my area

Long ago someone platted out the neighborhood as 270' x 270' blocks, with 60'-wide roads and an alley through the middle of each block. Each block had 10 rectangular lots. It never got built that way, but you can see the remnants of that plan here:

The brown outline would have been a block, and the red is a single lot. You can still see the shape of the alley, too.

Since then, many parts of the county's rights-of-way have been handed over to the property owners adjacent, resulting in the complex set of property boundaries you see above. (The process for doing that is either "vacation" or "quiet title".)

The previous owner of my parcels did a "boundary line adjustment", as well as vacating the alley. So my parcels run North/South, while many others run East/West.
