The 2000s additions: infill between the ring and the wave

1999 – 2010s

Between the two great strata, a scatter of turn-of-the-century plats: the years around 2000 filled the seams. The county file's own instrument dates fix several of them: Wild Wing Plantation in Clay (33 parcels; its paper carries a new-plat instrument of 2 July 1999), Horizons Edge Phase One in Harris (35 parcels; new plat per instrument of 6 January 2000), Gumwood Crossing (18 parcels; instrument of 8 December 2006) on the corridor its name takes, and the Villas at Cobblestone Square (21 parcels across its papers of 2019–2022, a late echo of the villa form on Clay ground). Around them the file carries the decade's register at the same scale: West Gate Cove (19), Toll View (23 — the one plat that names the Toll Road itself), The Berkshires (23), Anderson Estates (35, in five sections, a different and smaller plat than Anderson Lake Estates despite the shared surname of the road), Country Knolls (54, in four sections), Ponderosa Lake Estates (16), Streamwood (32), and the Greenview plats of Clay (Greenview East, 19, beside the Green View North sections of the postwar article — the two spellings, Greenview and Green View, carried as the file carries them, for plats a generation apart). None of these is large; together they are the proof that the map did not pause between the Eckrich decades and the Harris wave but thickened continuously, a plat of twenty to fifty lots at a time, on whatever farm parcel came to market.

The one non-residential plat of the interior: Princess Way Industrial Park, in Harris Township — twenty parcels in the file, classed across the industrial and commercial codes — is the CDP's only platted industrial ground inside the boundary, a small park of the corridor economy that otherwise lives on the Businesses file's roads. It is named here because the plat map would otherwise mislead: the designated place is a residential landscape with a single industrial plat, and its working ground is the corridors, not a district.
