The title promises 300 residence sites and speaks directly to the home builder, so this picture reads as a sales pitch for a planned residential tract rather than a view of a finished neighborhood. Developers of this kind commonly used illustrated maps, staged street scenes, and bold lettering to sell lots to people who would build their own houses, often in the years when streetcar lines and new utilities made outlying land attractive. Worth noticing is how the image asks the viewer to imagine a settled community that did not yet exist on the ground.
