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 DeKalb County, Alabama, 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. 356 pages with 107 total
maps What's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find
elsewhere) . . . 4345 Parcels of Land (with original landowner
names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map) 88 Cemeteries
plus . . . Roads, and existing Rivers, Creeks, Streams, Railroads,
and Small-towns (including some historical), etc. What YEARS are
