Plompton Tract
The Plompton Tract is one of the two oldest corners of the Sherwood estates: a short run of homes on Hereford Road and the nearby stretches of Stafford and Upper Lake roads, just west of the Thistlebery lanes. The county recorded its 48-lot map on May 19, 1923, the same day as Thistlebery Hill.
Mostly documented: the name and location are confirmed; some details rest on a single source.

About Plompton Tract
Surveyor Gerald C. FitzGerald laid out the lots in April 1923 for landowner F. W. Matthiessen Jr. In 1959, lots 21 through 40 on the tract's western arm were combined into a parcel of about seven acres and excluded from the tract. Much of that ground now lies within the later Tract 4191 and 4192 maps. About a dozen houses stand on the remaining lots, most of a third to half an acre.
