236 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 Montgomery County, Missouri, 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

In 1875, a team of cartographers, geologists, and scientists under
the direction of Ferdinand V. Hayden entered the Four Corners area
for what they thought would be a calm summer's work completing a
previous survey. Their accomplishments would go down in history as
one of the great American surveying expeditions of the nineteenth
century. By skillfully weaving the surveyors' diary entries, field
notes, and correspondence with newspaper accounts, historians
Robert S. McPherson and Susan Rhoades Neel bring the Hayden Survey
to life. Mapping the Four Corners provides an entertaining,
engaging narrative of the team's experiences, contextualized with a
thoughtful introduction and conclusion. Accompanied by the great
photographer William Henry Jackson, Hayden's team quickly found
their trip to be more challenging than expected. The travelers
describe wrangling half-wild pack mules, trying to sleep in
rain-soaked blankets, and making tea from muddy, alkaline water.
Along the way, they encountered diverse peoples, evidence of
prehistoric civilizations, and spectacular scenery-Hispanic
villages in Colorado and New Mexico; Mesa Verde, Hovenweep, and
other Anasazi sites; and the Hopi mesas. Not everyone they met was
glad to see them: in southeastern Utah surveyors fought and escaped
a band of Utes and Paiutes who recognized that the survey meant
dispossession from their homeland. Hayden saw his expedition as a
scientific endeavor focused on geology, geographic description,
cartographic accuracy, and even ethnography, but the search for
economic potential was a significant underlying motive. As this
book shows, these pragmatic scientists were on the lookout for gold
beneath every rock, grazing lands in every valley, and economic
opportunity around each bend in the trail. The Hayden Survey
ultimately shaped the American imagination in contradictory ways,
solidifying the idea of "progress"-and government funding of its
pursuit-while also revealing, via Jackson's photographs, a
landscape with a beauty hitherto unknown and unimagined.
In this atlas the authors have brought together, in accessible
form, a set of maps which portray a vivid picture of the physical
environment of the British Isles. Each set of maps is accompanied
by text that explains the nature and causes of the patterns that
can be observed. The contents are broadly based, covering the
geology, geomorphology, hydrology, climatolgoy, soils,
biogeography, and seas of the British Isles and the human impact on
each of these aspects. The maps are as uncomplicated as the subject
matter allows and the text is designed to be accessible to a wide
range of readers. The book was prepared to celebrate the centenary
of the Geographical Assocation. From it emerges a remarkable
picture of the physical landscape. Together with its companion
volume, Britiain in the 1990s: A Social and Economic Atlas, it
provides a comprehensive overview of the British Isles.
Naval operations and warfare were, and remain, a key element for
mapping. Maps were vital for commanders in drawing up plans of
attack, and their detail and usefulness have increased over the
centuries as the science of mapping has developed. This beautiful
book examines stunning original maps from a series of key conflicts
from the Spanish Armada, the American Wars of Independence, and the
Napoleonic wars to twentieth century conflicts from the First World
War to Vietnam, and explains how they were represented through
mapping and how the maps produced helped naval commanders to plan
their strategy.
