282 pages with 62 total maps Locating original landowners in maps has never been an easy task-until now. This volume in the Family Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners (patent maps) in what is now Morgan County, Illinois, gleaned from the indexes of the Illinois State Archives. But it offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many historical city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods, examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in old documents or deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin near the time of statehood and run into the early 1900s.

Many hours have been spent re-working this plan from the antique original, sourced from Jonathon Potter Antique Maps in London. It is a fascinating plan that shows the heart of Birmingham just prior to the arrival of the first railway's that were to halt at Curzon Street Station just on the outskirts of the town towards the end of this decade. Another decade later the area at the heart of the town, known back then as the "Froggary", would undergo a massive change with the railways finally reaching the purpose built New Street Station. Around the edges all of the streets, roads, avenues and places of worthy interest are listed with a unique grid layout allowing each entry to be quickly located on the plan, making it an early contender to being a forerunner to the "A-Z". Part of the re-working in colour was the identification of key buildings that included the many pubs and taverns of the time; these are now illustrated in red, with Birmingham's canals standing out in pale blue almost circling the town. At the bottom of James Drake lists further fascinating information about Birmingham, this includes Post Office Regulations, Hackney Coach and Car Fares, Public Institutions, Stage Coaches, Inns and Wagon Warehouses. This plan looks stunning framed and has stimulated many discussions in respect of Birmingham's history. The 90 gsm "Progeo" paper was specially developed as a map paper. It has high opacity to help reduce show through and a cross grain giving it greater durability as the map is being folded.
