400 pages with 125 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 Franklin 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
Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . .
6331 Parcels of Land (with original landowner names and
patent-dates labeled in the relevant map) 82 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:
