Bromley city maps were widely published around the turn of the 19th century, usually for purposes of making important public information readily available to the public and officials.  Assessors and various other city  officials (planners, fire and police forces, utility and service providers, etc.) thereby had critical information readily available.  The information provided included a scale (1"=100'), a compass/North indicator, property parcel limits, parcel size and ownership, building footprints (red for masonry, yellow for wood frame), street frontage of lot, street name and addresses, roads, sidewalks, water and sewer mains, rail lines, larger building names, and tax  block number.
