216 pages with 65 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 Arthur County, Nebraska, gleaned from
the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. 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. What's Mapped in this book

Superlatives tend to fail in describing Joan Blaeu's Atlas
Maior-that being said, it stands as one of the most extravagant
feats in the history of mapmaking. The original Latin edition,
completed in 1665, was the largest and most expensive book to be
published during the 17th century. Its 594 maps appearing across 11
volumes spanned Arctica, Africa, Asia, Europe, and America.
Ambitious in scale and artistry, it is included in the Canon of
Dutch History, an official survey of 50 individuals, creations, or
events that chart the most important historical developments of the
Netherlands. TASCHEN's meticulous reprint brings this luxurious
Baroque wonder into the hands of modern readers. In an age of
digitized cartography and global connectivity, it celebrates the
steadfast beauty of quality printing and restores the wonder of an
exploratory age, in which Blaeu's native Amsterdam was a center of
international trade and discovery. True to TASCHEN's optimum
reproduction standards, this edition is based on the Austrian
National Library's complete colored and gold-heightened copy of
Atlas Maior, assuring the finest detail and quality. University of
Amsterdam's Peter van der Krogt introduces the historical and
cultural significance of the atlas while providing detailed
descriptions for individual maps, revealing the full scale and
ambition of Blaeu's masterwork.
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.
This fascinating plan of Birmingham in 1778, just after the opening
of Birmingham's first canal in 1769, when folded out measures 890mm
x 1000mm. It will be a great resource for local historians, family
historians and all those interested in the City of Birmingham.
Digitally re-mastered in colour from the original, it captures this
famous manufacturing town at a time of rapid expansion. The map has
been meticulously re-produced from the antique original and printed
on 90 gsm "Progeo" paper which was specially developed as a map
paper. It has high opacity to help reduce show through and a cross
grain giving it greater durability to as the map is being folded.

by Thomas Moule. All the maps have been meticulously re-produced
from antique originals and printed on 90 gsm "Progeo" paper which
was specially developed as a map paper. It has high opacity to help
reduce show through and a cross grain giving it greater durability
to as the map is being folded.
