Each Square is an Island, alone unto itself. There is not now nor has never been, any citywide Survey Coordinate System in D.C. Most squares are unrelated to other Squares by a \u201cMeasured\u201d distance. They are related by Record. Street width is approximate. You cannot rely on the published official street widths to set up property lines or determine right-of-way. There is digital scan information available from DDOT regarding Right-of-Way. Some Squares are divided by streets making them muti-part and continues on the other side of the street. Since there is no citywide Survey Coordinate System, squares were placed in their approximate location. This process is known as \u201cbest fit\u201d.<\/SPAN><\/P>
