[Ldsoss] Ward mapping application

[Jesse Stay]

I didn't think about Google Earth.  I think we're getting closer to at
least a workaround.  I would still like some way to download a plot
map though with actual designs of each property line, similar to
Zillow.com.  Anyone know of an API or Web Service that allows access
to such a thing?
