{"product_id":"9781420315172","title":"Family Maps of Spokane County, Washington, Deluxe Edition: With Homesteads, Roads, Waterways, Towns, Cemeteries, Railroads, and More","description":"606 pages with 329 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 Spokane County, Washington, 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 10207 Parcels of Land\u003cbr\u003e (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map)\u003cbr\u003e 45 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\u003e1870s 13\u003cbr\u003e1880s 1904\u003cbr\u003e1890s 2977\u003cbr\u003e1900s 1504\u003cbr\u003e1910s 378\u003cbr\u003e1920s 30\u003cbr\u003e1930s 2\u003cbr\u003e1940s 16\u003cbr\u003e1950s 4\u003cbr\u003e1960s 1\u003cbr\u003e1970s 109\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Cities and Towns are in Spokane County, Washington (and in this book)?\u003cbr\u003eAirway Heights, Alpha (historical), Amber, Austin, Babb, Buckeye, Chatnwaqhi'Ã...‚pm Grove, Chattaroy, Cheney, Chester, Chnak'wa'qn Breaks, Coey, Colbert, Country Homes, Darknell, Dartford, Deep Creek, Deer Park, Denison, Dishman, Duncan, Dynamite, East Cheney, East Farms, East Spokane, Elk, Espanola, Fairchild, Fairfield, Fairwood, Four Lakes, Freedom, Freeman, Geib, Geiger Heights, Glenrose, Grays Landing, Green Bluff, Greenacres, Hamann Corner, Hayford, Hazard, Hazelwood, Highland, Hillyard, Hite, Hutton Settlement, Irwin, Lakeland Village, Latah, Liberty Lake, Lyons, Manito, Marshall, Mead, Medical Lake, Mica, Milan, Millwood, Moab, Mock, Mount Hope, Ne'sqhwaqhwe (historical), Newman Lake, Nine Mile Falls, North Pine, Opportunity, Orchard Avenue, Orchard Park, Orchard Prairie, Otis Orchards, Parkwater, Pasadena Park, Peone, Plaza, Pocahontas Bay, Rahm, Rockford, Rodna, Saxby, Scribner, Seven Mile, Silver Lake, South Cheney, Spangle, Spokane, Spokane Valley, Spring Valley, Stringtown, T Bridge Corner, Town and Country, Trentwood, Tyler, Valleyford, Velox, Vera, Veradale, Wallner, Waverly, West Fairfield, West Spokane, Yardley\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arphax Publishing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49789309681904,"sku":"9781420315172","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420315172","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
