{"product_id":"9781420314540","title":"Family Maps of Brown County, Indiana, 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 Brown County, Indiana, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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 14\u003cbr\u003e1830s 460\u003cbr\u003e1840s 922\u003cbr\u003e1850s 961\u003cbr\u003e1860s 15\u003cbr\u003e1870s 9\u003cbr\u003e1900s 1\u003cbr\u003e1910s 4\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Cities and Towns are in Brown County, Indiana (and in this book)?\u003cbr\u003eAnnandale Estates, Beanblossom, Bear Wallow, Becks Grove, Belmont, Buffalo, Camp Roberts, Christiansburg, Clarksdale, Cornelius, Elkinsville, Fruitdale, Gatesville, Gnaw Bone, Helmsburg, Lake on the Green, Lanam, Mount Liberty, Nashville, Needmore, Pikes Peak, Point Idalawn, Spearsville, Spurgeons Corner, Stone Head, Story, Sweetwater Lake, Taggart, Town Hill, Trevlac, Waycross, West Overlook, Young\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . .\u003cbr\u003e 2386 Parcels of Land\u003cbr\u003e (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e24 Cemeteries\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eplus . . .\u003cbr\u003e Roads, and existing Rivers, Creeks, Streams, Railroads, and Small-towns (including some historical), etc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arphax Publishing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49899143594224,"sku":"9781420314540","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420314540","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
