306 pages with 89 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 Lac qui Parle County, Minnesota,
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) . . .

patent-dates labeled in the relevant map) 19 Cemeteries plus . . .
