Here's the area from Flyingwedge's post. I think it actually says "ORD'S SURVEY".

Thanks,
Hoss (and you too,
e_r). It's great to know about the new version of the Baist map that's available.
I recently came across a discovery at the USC Digital Library as well. It's
The New Los Angeles Plat Book (1958),
published by The Realty Map and Ownership Service. Here's that same block from the plat book.
USCDL
The north end of the block is vacant on every pre-1921 map I checked, including the 1894 Sanborn (The 1888
Sanborn does not go that far south).
The 1909 Gates' Birdseye View of Los Angeles shows a high fence around
three sides of the vacant lot. I wonder what the story of that property is?
