{"product_id":"9781420312553","title":"Family Maps of Lauderdale County, Alabama, Deluxe Edition: With Homesteads, Roads, Waterways, Towns, Cemeteries, Railroads, and More","description":"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 Lauderdale County, Alabama, 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.\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. 302 pages with 86 total maps\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . .\u003cbr\u003e 4529 Parcels of Land\u003cbr\u003e (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map)\u003cbr\u003e 150 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\u003e1820s 240\u003cbr\u003e1830s 562\u003cbr\u003e1840s 283\u003cbr\u003e1850s 2127\u003cbr\u003e1860s 334\u003cbr\u003e1880s 43\u003cbr\u003e1890s 115\u003cbr\u003e1900s 133\u003cbr\u003e1910s 199\u003cbr\u003e1920s 493\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Cities and Towns are in Lauderdale County, Alabama (and in this book)?\u003cbr\u003eAnderson, Antioch, Aqua Vista, Arkdell, Bailey Springs, Bellemeade, Bethel Grove, Big Oak, Blackburn, Brooks Acres, Canaan, Cedar Grove, Center Hill, Center Star, Central Heights, Cloverdale, Cloverdale Heights, Comer, Confluence, Cypress Heights, Dart, Dells Vista Shores, East Florence, East Killen, Elgin, Emerald Shores, Fairview, Ferry Shores, Florence, Forest Hills, Glen Oaks, Grassy, Gravelly Springs, Green Hill, Greenbrier, Hickory Hills, Hideaway Hills, Hines, Holloway, Houstontown, Indian Springs, Jacksonburg, Johnson Crossroads, Keys Chapel (historical), Killen, Kimbrough Crossroads, Kingtown, Lake Coves, Lakeside Acres, Lakeside Highlands, Lauderdale Beach, Lexington, Lock Six, Lock Three, Lovelace Crossroads, Mansion View, Mars Hill, McGee Town, Mitchelltown, Mount Olive, Murphy Cross Roads, New Hope, North Florence, Northwood Hills, Oakland, Oliver, Parker Landing, Parkertown, Petersville, Pine Haven Shores, Pinedale Acres, Poplar Springs Branch, Powell, Pruitton, Rhodesville, Rivermont, Roberson Beach, Rogersville, Romine, Rose Park, Saint Florian, Sharps Mill, Sherwood Forest, Shoals Acres, Smithsonia, Springfield, Stewartville, Sullivan Crossroads, Sweet Gum, The Cedars, Thornton, Thorntontown, Three Forks, Threet, Toonersville, Underwood, Upper Green Hill, Waterloo, Weeden Heights, Whitehead, Wilson, Woodland, Woodland Landing (historical), Woodlawn, Wright, Wrights Landing, Zip City\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arphax Publishing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49869359808752,"sku":"9781420312553","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420312553","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
