{"product_id":"9781420314410","title":"Family Maps of Walker 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 Walker 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. 364 pages with 98 total maps\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . .\u003cbr\u003e 7079 Parcels of Land\u003cbr\u003e (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map)\u003cbr\u003e 96 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 100\u003cbr\u003e1830s 724\u003cbr\u003e1840s 124\u003cbr\u003e1850s 2021\u003cbr\u003e1860s 1396\u003cbr\u003e1870s 76\u003cbr\u003e1880s 1315\u003cbr\u003e1890s 1032\u003cbr\u003e1900s 79\u003cbr\u003e1910s 179\u003cbr\u003e1920s 33\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Cities and Towns are in Walker County, Alabama (and in this book)?\u003cbr\u003eAldridge, America, Argo, Bankhead, Barney, Benoit, Bethel, Big Ridge, Black Warrior Town (historical), Boldo, Bradleytown, Browntown, Bryan, Burnwell, Burrows Crossroads, Calumet, Camak Mills (historical), Cameron, Campbellville, Carbon Hill, Cedar Lake, Cedrum, Chapel Hill, Clarke, Coal Valley, Coon Creek, Cordova, Corinth, Corona, Creel, Curry, Deason Hill, Debardeleben, Dilworth, Dixie Springs, Dogtown, Doliska, Dora, Dora Junction, Dovertown, Drifton, Drummond, Edgil, Eldridge, Empire, Enoe, Fairview, Five Points, Flatwood, Frisco Quarters, Gamble, Gardiners Gin, Gayosa, Gobblers Crossing, Goodsprings, Gorgas, Hayes Crossing, High Level, Hilliard, Hillsdale, Holly Grove, Hudson Settlement, Hull, Jasper, Kansas, Kershaw, Key Hill, Kings Mill, Lake Shore Subdivision, Littletons, Lockhart (historical), Lone Oak Subdivision, Lorton, Lupton, Lynns Park, Macedonia, Manchester, Marietta, Marigold, Marylee, McCollum, Mount Hope, Mountain Valley (historical), Nauvoo, New Jagger, Oak Hill, Oakahalla, Oakman, Parrish, Patton, Pendley, Pennsylvania Camp (historical), Pleasant Field, Pleasant Grove, Pocahontas, Powellville, Prospect, Providence, Pumpkin Center, Quinton, Quintown, Red Rock, Red Star, Reeds Ferry, Rocky Hollow, Rosehill, Ruby (historical), Samoset, Saragossa, Sardis, Sardis, Short Camp, Sipsey, Slicklizzard, Sloss, South Lowell, Spring Hill, Standard, Stephenson Crossing, Sumiton, Sumiton Trailer Park, Sunlight, Thach, Townley, Tutwiler, Twilley Town, Union Chapel, Wegra, West Corona, Williamstown, Wyatt, Yerkwood, York Mountain\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arphax Publishing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49860374528240,"sku":"9781420314410","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420314410","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
