{"product_id":"9781420315134","title":"Family Maps of Monroe 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 Monroe 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. 484 pages with 137 total maps\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . .\u003cbr\u003e 9066 Parcels of Land\u003cbr\u003e (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map)\u003cbr\u003e 73 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 677\u003cbr\u003e1830s 2416\u003cbr\u003e1840s 395\u003cbr\u003e1850s 2082\u003cbr\u003e1860s 953\u003cbr\u003e1870s 78\u003cbr\u003e1880s 843\u003cbr\u003e1890s 1123\u003cbr\u003e1900s 295\u003cbr\u003e1910s 86\u003cbr\u003e1920s 22\u003cbr\u003e1930s 15\u003cbr\u003e1940s 7\u003cbr\u003e1950s 30\u003cbr\u003e1960s 20\u003cbr\u003e1970s 4\u003cbr\u003e1980s 4\u003cbr\u003e1990s 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Cities and Towns are in Monroe County, Alabama (and in this book)?\u003cbr\u003eAxle, Beatrice, Buena Vista, Chestnut, Chrysler, Claiborne, Drewry, Eliska, Excel, Finchburg, Fountain, Franklin, Frisco City, Goodway, Halls Crossroads, Hixon, Homewood, Hybart, Jeddo, Kalem, Keith, Manistee, Megargel, Mexboro, Mexia, Mexia Crossing, Midway, Mineola, Monroeton, Monroeville, Mount Pleasant, Nadawah, Natchez, Old Salem, Old Texas, Ollie, Packards Bend, Palmers Crossroads, Perdue Hill, Peterman, Pine Orchard, Pineville, Puryearville (historical), Renson, Riley, River Ridge, Scotland, Scratch Ankle, Tinela, Tunnel Springs, Turkestan (historical), Turnbull, Uriah, Valley Estates, Vredenburgh, Wainwright, West Monroeville\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arphax Publishing C.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49873745838320,"sku":"9781420315134","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420315134","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
