I figured out what I have to do. Since the tract with the town lots will
not ever move because it's location is confirmed and it is locked so I can
create the annotations in the tract rather than in the map background. Then
the annotations can be hidden with everything else.

I've found that putting annotations inside the tracts works well for adjoining landowners too. I've also started roughing in steams when they are shown on a plat. They will seldom match perfectly to the map, but often close enough to know if you're in the right general area.

I understand the procedure for hiding annotations. I have some roads named
in a 320 acre lot which contains the little town lots. The rest of the
tracts are 300 to 400 acre lots (Pa. Depreciation Land Lots they're called).
When zoomed out to show all or most of the lots including the town lot, the
road names appear as a black jumble of words. I choose the Options, Plot
View, Hide Annotations, but it doesn't hide the road name annotations. The
road name annotations were attached to the map section.
Another way to do this w/o zooming is to change the display settings for your monitor. Increasing the screen resolution makes things smaller, but you get more of them displayed at once. I have XP and right clicking on the desktop brings up the properties menu. Click on the Settings tab and increase the screen resolution until you find one that works for you. This works well for other things too: when moving/repositioning a group of tracts at once, when you need a map that shows a given tract(s), particularly a very large one, in relation to to the others around, etc.
