{"product_id":"9781420311273","title":"Family Maps of Attala County, Mississippi, Deluxe Edition: With Homesteads, Roads, Waterways, Towns, Cemeteries, Railroads, and More","description":"322 pages with 80 total maps\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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 Attala County, Mississippi, 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e What's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . .\u003cbr\u003e 5202 Parcels of Land\u003cbr\u003e (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map)\u003cbr\u003e 135 Cemeteries plus . . .\u003cbr\u003e Roads, and existing Rivers, Creeks, Streams, Railroads, and Small-towns (including some historical), etc.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e What YEARS are these maps for?\u003cbr\u003e Here are the counts for parcels of land mapped, by the decade in which the corresponding land patents were issued:\u003cbr\u003e Decade Parcel-count\u003cbr\u003e 1820s 3\u003cbr\u003e 1830s 112\u003cbr\u003e 1840s 2609\u003cbr\u003e 1850s 1176\u003cbr\u003e 1860s 590\u003cbr\u003e 1870s 41\u003cbr\u003e 1880s 136\u003cbr\u003e 1890s 219\u003cbr\u003e 1900s 128\u003cbr\u003e 1910s 166\u003cbr\u003e 1920s 22\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e What Cities and Towns are in Attala County, Mississippi (and in this book)?\u003cbr\u003e Antioch (historical), Aponaug (historical), Attalaville (historical), Auris (historical), Bear Creek (historical), Berea (historical), Beulah (historical), Bluff Springs (historical), Bowies Chapel, Bowlin (historical), Boyette, Branchville (historical), Burkettsville (historical), Carmack, Carson Ridge (historical), Center, Center Point (historical), Chapel Hill (historical), Chita (historical), Cowpen (historical), Dodds, Dossville, Doty Springs (historical), Earlyville, East Macedonia, Edgefield (historical), Ethel, Forrest (historical), Friendship (historical), Glendale (historical), Gregory (historical), Hesterville, Hurricane, Joplin (historical), Joseph, Knox, Kosciusko, Langley (historical), Liberty Chapel, Liberty Hill (historical), Macedonia (historical), Marvins Chapel, McAdams, McCool, McVille, Mercer (historical), Mount Herman, Multona Springs, Munson (historical), New Hope (historical), New Hope (historical), Newport, Newtonville (historical), Nile, North Center (historical), North Union (historical), Oak Ridge (historical), Patterson, Pierces Chapel, Pilgrims Rest (historical), Plantation, Pleasant Ridge (historical), Possumneck, Providence, Rockport (historical), Rocky Point, Rutherford (historical), Sallis, Sand Hill (historical), Shady Grove, Shrock (historical), Smyrna, Springdale, Steele (historical), Tabernacle (historical), Thompson (historical), Thweatt (historical), Unity (historical), Valena (historical), Williamsville, Zama, Zemuly","brand":"Arphax Publishing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47626773954800,"sku":"9781420311273","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781420311273_p0.jpg?v=1763729088","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420311273","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
