{"product_id":"9781420313147","title":"Family Maps of Cherokee 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 Cherokee 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. 322 pages with 80 total maps\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . .\u003cbr\u003e 4846 Parcels of Land\u003cbr\u003e (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map)\u003cbr\u003e 97 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\u003e1840s 1487\u003cbr\u003e1850s 1411\u003cbr\u003e1860s 149\u003cbr\u003e1870s 24\u003cbr\u003e1880s 637\u003cbr\u003e1890s 835\u003cbr\u003e1900s 181\u003cbr\u003e1910s 92\u003cbr\u003e1920s 28\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Cities and Towns are in Cherokee County, Alabama (and in this book)?\u003cbr\u003eAdams Crossroads, Alexis, Alpine Shores, Anderson (subdivision), Antioch, Antioch Estates, Aubrey Isle, Ball Flat, Bay Springs, Bay View Estates (subdivision), Berry Springs, Big Nose Creek Subdivision (subdivision), Billy Goat Hill, Blanche, Blue Pond, Bluffton, Bomar, Bristow, Brooks Estates (subdivision), Broomtown, Burgess, Burkhalter Subdivision, Cedar Bluff, Centre, Chesterfield, Congo, Coosa River Subdivision (subdivision), Cornwall (subdivision), Cornwall Furnace, Dewey, Dixon Shop, Ellisville, Elrath, Estes Crossroads, Ewing, Exie, Farill, Ferguson, Five Points, Forney, Frog Mountain, Fullerton, Gaylesville, Gnatville, Grassland, Griffin (subdivision), Grover, Hall Valley, Hopewell, Howells Crossroads, Hurley, Jamestown, Key, Kirks Grove, Lawrence, Leesburg, Leonard, Little River, Lookout Valley Acres (subdivision), Mackey, Maple Grove, McCord Crossroads, McElrath Subdivision (subdivision), McFrey Crossroads, McGhee, McWorther Subdivision (subdivision), Meadows Estates (subdivision), Moshat, Mountain Acres, Mountain Lake Estates (subdivision), New Moon, Newberry Cove, Newberry Crossroads, Noah, Northwood Estates (subdivision), Oceola, Old Coloma, Pathkiller Cove, Pine Grove, Piney, Plano, Pleasant Gap, Pope, Rhinehart, Richardson, Ringgold, Roberts Subdivision, Rock Run, Round Mountain, Sand Rock, Sandy Springs, Sanford Springs, Sewell Subdivision (subdivision), Shangrila, Sidhart (historical), Slackland, Spring Garden, Sterling (historical), Summer Estates (subdivision), Taft, Tecumseh, Tecumseh Furnace, Tennala, Tucker Crossroads, Waterhouse, Waterloo Springs, Watson, Weiss Dam, Whorton, Yellow Creek View Subdivision (subdivision)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arphax Publishing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49850204389616,"sku":"9781420313147","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420313147","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
