272 pages with 68 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 Dubuque County, Iowa, 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
(that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . . 3926 Parcels of Land
(with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the
relevant map) 83 Cemeteries plus . . . Roads, and existing Rivers,
Creeks, Streams, Railroads, and Small-towns (including some
historical), etc. What YEARS are these maps for? Here are the
counts for parcels of land mapped, by the decade in which the
corresponding land patents were issued: DecadeParcel-count 1830s2
