{"product_id":"9781420314823","title":"Family Maps of Vernon County, Wisconsin, Deluxe Edition: With Homesteads, Roads, Waterways, Towns, Cemeteries, Railroads, and More","description":"392 pages with 86 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 Vernon County, Wisconsin, 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 7100 Parcels of Land\u003cbr\u003e (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map)\u003cbr\u003e 52 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 31\u003cbr\u003e1850s 4293\u003cbr\u003e1860s 1247\u003cbr\u003e1870s 1073\u003cbr\u003e1880s 267\u003cbr\u003e1890s 98\u003cbr\u003e1900s 39\u003cbr\u003e1910s 3\u003cbr\u003e1920s 3\u003cbr\u003e1930s 1\u003cbr\u003e1940s 38\u003cbr\u003e1950s 2\u003cbr\u003e1990s 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Cities and Towns are in Vernon County, Wisconsin (and in this book)?\u003cbr\u003eAvalanche, Bloomingdale, Bud, Chaseburg, Coon Valley, Dilly, Esofea, Fargo, Folsom, Genoa, Greenwood, Hillsboro, La Farge, Liberty, Liberty Pole, Mount Tabor, Newry, Newton, Ontario, Pleasant Valley, Purdy, Readstown, Red Mound, Retreat, Rockton, Romance, Ross, Springville, Stoddard, Sugar Grove, Trippville, Valley, Victory, Viroqua, West Prairie, Westby, White City\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arphax Publishing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49836793200880,"sku":"9781420314823","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420314823","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
