{"product_id":"9781420315332","title":"Family Maps of Madison 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 Madison 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. 326 pages with 92 total maps\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . .\u003cbr\u003e 3986 Parcels of Land\u003cbr\u003e (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map)\u003cbr\u003e 358 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 34\u003cbr\u003e1830s 1124\u003cbr\u003e1840s 189\u003cbr\u003e1850s 978\u003cbr\u003e1860s 185\u003cbr\u003e1870s 31\u003cbr\u003e1880s 188\u003cbr\u003e1890s 465\u003cbr\u003e1900s 164\u003cbr\u003e1910s 133\u003cbr\u003e1920s 261\u003cbr\u003e1930s 30\u003cbr\u003e1940s 17\u003cbr\u003e1950s 87\u003cbr\u003e1960s 76\u003cbr\u003e1970s 7\u003cbr\u003e1980s 5\u003cbr\u003e1990s 9\u003cbr\u003e2000s 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Cities and Towns are in Madison County, Alabama (and in this book)?\u003cbr\u003eAshland, Berkley, Big Cove, Bobo, Brandontown, Bravo, Brookhurst, Browns Corner, Brownsboro, Buckhorn, Bucks Canyon, Burrows, Butler Mill, Carter Grove, Cedar Point, Chase, Chelsea, Cherrytree, Clarkdale, Cluttsville, Deposit, Dug Hill, Edgemont, Elko, Elkwood, Elon, Fairview, Fannings Crossing, Farley, Fisk, Gladstone, Greenfield, Gurley, Haden, Harvest, Hazel Green, Hillsboro, Hobbs Island, Hoover, Huntsville, Incline, Indian Hills, Jeff, Johnson, Keys Mill, Lily Flagg, Lincoln, Lincoya, Longwood, Lowe (historical), Madison, Madison Crossroads, Maple Hill, Maplewood, Mayfair, Maysville, McCaleb Mill, Mercury, Meridianville, Monrovia, Moontown, Moores Mill, Mount Lebanon, Nebo, New Haven, New Hope, New Market, New Sharon, Normal, North Daye Hill, Northwood, Norton, Oak Grove, Oak Park, Old Monrovia, Owens Cross Roads, Pea Ridge, Piedmont, Plevna, Rainbow, Ready Crossing, Ridgewood, Roseboro, Ryland, Saint Clair Store, Sandhurst Park, Sherwood Park, Skinem, Stag Run, State Line, Steele Crossing, Stone Ridge, Sublett Mill, Sulphur Springs, Terry Heights, Three Forks, Toney, Triana, Union Grove, Union Park, University Park, Vaughn Corners, Walker Woods, West Huntsville, Whitesburg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arphax Publishing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47813728895216,"sku":"9781420315332","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781420315332_p0.jpg?v=1763738829","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420315332","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
