{"product_id":"9781420313529","title":"Family Maps of Oakland County, Michigan, Deluxe Edition: With Homesteads, Roads, Waterways, Towns, Cemeteries, Railroads, and More","description":"394 pages with 80 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 Oakland County, Michigan, 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 7427 Parcels of Land\u003cbr\u003e (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map)\u003cbr\u003e 63 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 1018\u003cbr\u003e1830s 5744\u003cbr\u003e1840s 277\u003cbr\u003e1850s 215\u003cbr\u003e1860s 15\u003cbr\u003e1870s 9\u003cbr\u003e1880s 13\u003cbr\u003e1890s 7\u003cbr\u003e1900s 7\u003cbr\u003e1910s 43\u003cbr\u003e1920s 59\u003cbr\u003e1930s 4\u003cbr\u003e1940s 9\u003cbr\u003e1950s 5\u003cbr\u003e1990s 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Cities and Towns are in Oakland County, Michigan (and in this book)?\u003cbr\u003eAndersonville, Auburn Heights, Auburn Hills, Austin Corners, Berkley, Beverly Hills, Big Beaver, Bingham Farms, Birmingham, Bloomfield, Bloomfield Hills, Brandon Gardens, Campbells Corner, Charing Cross, Clarenceville, Clarkston, Clarkston, Clawson, Clintonville, Clyde, Commerce, Davisburg, Drayton Plains, East Highland, Farmington, Farmington Acres, Farmington Hills, Ferndale, Five Points, Four Towns, Franklin, Gingellville, Glengary, Goodison, Groveland Corners, Hazel Park, Hickory Ridge, Highland, Holly, Huntington Woods, Jossman Acres, Keego Harbor, Lake Angelus, Lake Orion, Lake Orion Heights, Lakeville, Lathrup Village, Leonard, Madison Heights, Milford, New Hudson, Newark, North Farmington, Novi, Oak Grove, Oak Park, Oakley Park, Oakwood, Orchard Lake, Ortonville, Oxbow, Oxford, Perry Lake Heights, Pleasant Ridge, Pontiac, Quakertown, Rochester, Rochester Hills, Rose Corners, Royal Oak, Rudds Mill, Seven Harbors, South Lyon, Southfield, Springfield, Stony Creek, Sylvan Lake, Thomas, Troy, Union Lake, Walled Lake, Walters, Waterford, West Highland, Westacres, White Lake, Wixom, Wolverine Lake, Wood Creek Farms, Yates\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arphax Publishing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028656308464,"sku":"9781420313529","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781420313529_p0.jpg?v=1763729472","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420313529","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
