{"product_id":"9781420314588","title":"Family Maps of Johnson County, Illinois, Deluxe Edition: With Homesteads, Roads, Waterways, Towns, Cemeteries, Railroads, and More","description":"192 pages with 38 total maps\u003cbr\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 Johnson County, Illinois, gleaned from the indexes of the Illinois State Archives. 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\u003eList of Details Found Below . . .\u003cbr\u003e What's Mapped in his book?\u003cbr\u003e What YEARS are these maps for?\u003cbr\u003e What Cities and Towns are in Johnson County, Illinois (and in this book)?\u003cbr\u003e Indexes in this book\u003cbr\u003e Reviews by the Experts . . .\u003cbr\u003e Surnames found in this book\u003cbr\u003e Book Specifications\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . .\u003cbr\u003e 3431 Parcels of Land\u003cbr\u003e (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e66 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\u003cp\u003eBack to Top of Description\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 patent applications were made:\u003cbr\u003eDecade Parcel-count\u003cbr\u003e1810s 132\u003cbr\u003e1820s 5\u003cbr\u003e1830s 243\u003cbr\u003e1840s 296\u003cbr\u003e1850s 2752\u003cbr\u003e1860s 66\u003cbr\u003e1870s 26\u003cbr\u003e1880s 86\u003cbr\u003e1890s 48\u003cbr\u003e1900s 18\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBack to Top of Description\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Cities and Towns are in Johnson County, Illinois (and in this book)?\u003cbr\u003eBelknap, Bender (historical), Bloomfield, Buncombe, Cross Roads (historical), Crossroads, Cypress, Deer Ridge, Eagle Point Bay, Egyptian Hills, Elvira, Flatwoods, Forman, Ganntown, Goreville, Grantsburg, Joppa Junction, New Burnside, Omar, Ozark, Parker, Pharoahs Gardens, Pleasant Grove, Pond, Reevesville, Reynoldsburg, Robinwood, Sandburn, Simpson, Sugar Creek Ranch, Tunnel Hill, Vienna, Wagon Creek Heaven, Wartrace, West Vienna, White Hill\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arphax Publishing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053484818672,"sku":"9781420314588","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781420314588_p0.jpg?v=1763729297","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420314588","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
