This paper explores the grounded implications such maps theory; public property; reveal; to canvass the ways in which bespoke private, public and common property; private common land patterns inform the values and sense of place of property; place; community material communities. To measure property values to geographic space is an amorphous and difficult task, akin to catching the early morning mist in your hands. Drawing on cartographic tools as well as emerging property theory, this paper proffers several benchmarks by which property's diverse values may be measured in situ. It then applies these potential indicators to 'worlded' place; three communities in regional New South Wales, Australia. These case studies illustrate how property lines and commensurate property values may (or may not) correspond, and their implications for a community's sense of self. They also suggest that property's many narratives, both dominant and subordinate, are capable of empirical (albeit imaginative) mapping to place. 1. Introduction Communities comprise unique patterns of property types; distinctive landscapes of pri- vate, public and common property that singly and collectively constitute the physical lay- out, the architectural framework of community. Each unique patchwork means, tritely, that no one community is identically the same. Each difference, as logic dictates, yields cities, towns, villages and suburbs bespoke in their propertied design. This paper explores the implications of these diverse property designs, and the type of community such variegated patterns may engender. Its objective is to start to locate the link between the two, to measure how property, in all of its diverse forms - public, private, common - may inform a community's deeply amorphous character, its intangible, yet routinely recognised sense of place. Some communities are well known for their livability, where principles of sustainability and a strong identity are defining hallmarks. Many others, especially on metropolitan or ex-urban fringes, fall into James Howard Kunstler's 'geography of nowhere',' the go-anywhere private 'lawscapes'2 dominated by suburban sprawl, ubiquitous shopping malls, and a dearth of public infrastructure. Such a spectral diversity invites an analysis of property's implications for community, to identify those factors that create, crucible-like, this infinite array of place.
