{"product_id":"9781420311563","title":"Family Maps of Sanpete County, Utah, Deluxe Edition: With Homesteads, Roads, Waterways, Towns, Cemeteries, Railroads, and More","description":"446 pages with 144 total maps\u003cp\u003eLocating 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 Sanpete County, Utah, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . .\u003cbr\u003e 3994 Parcels of Land\u003cbr\u003e (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map)\u003cbr\u003e 20 Cemeteries plus . . .\u003cbr\u003e Roads, and existing Rivers, Creeks, Streams, Railroads, and Small-towns (including some historical), etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat YEARS are these maps for?\u003cbr\u003eHere are the counts for parcels of land mapped, by the decade in which the corresponding land patents were issued:\u003cbr\u003eDecade Parcel-count\u003cbr\u003e1870s 535\u003cbr\u003e1880s 900\u003cbr\u003e1890s 1019\u003cbr\u003e1900s 455\u003cbr\u003e1910s 264\u003cbr\u003e1920s 464\u003cbr\u003e1930s 179\u003cbr\u003e1940s 52\u003cbr\u003e1950s 85\u003cbr\u003e1960s 13\u003cbr\u003e1970s 12\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Cities and Towns are in Sanpete County, Utah (and in this book)?\u003cbr\u003eAxtell, Beaver Dams Summer Homes Area, Centerfield, Chester, Christianburg, Ephraim, Fairview, Fayette, Fountain Green, Freedom, Gunnison, Hill Top, Indianola, Jerusalem, Manti, Manti Canyon Summer Homes, Mayfield, Milburn, Moroni, Mount Pleasant, Oak Creek, Pigeon Hollow Junction, Spearmint, Spring City, Sterling, Wales, West Ephraim\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arphax Publishing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50082002108656,"sku":"9781420311563","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420311563","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
