{"product_id":"9781420315387","title":"Family Maps of Walla Walla County, Washington, Deluxe Edition: With Homesteads, Roads, Waterways, Towns, Cemeteries, Railroads, and More","description":"518 pages with 293 total maps\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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 Walla Walla 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Included 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e What's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . .\u003cbr\u003e 9293 Parcels of Land\u003cbr\u003e (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map)\u003cbr\u003e 7 Cemeteries plus . . .\u003cbr\u003e Roads, and existing Rivers, Creeks, Streams, Railroads, and Small-towns (including some historical), etc.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e What YEARS are these maps for?\u003cbr\u003e Here are the counts for parcels of land mapped, by the decade in which the corresponding land patents were issued:\u003cbr\u003e Decade Parcel-count\u003cbr\u003e 1860s 612\u003cbr\u003e 1870s 1276\u003cbr\u003e 1880s 1529\u003cbr\u003e 1890s 1776\u003cbr\u003e 1900s 1370\u003cbr\u003e 1910s 585\u003cbr\u003e 1920s 194\u003cbr\u003e 1930s 26\u003cbr\u003e 1940s 8\u003cbr\u003e 1950s 309\u003cbr\u003e 1960s 10\u003cbr\u003e 1970s 125\u003cbr\u003e 1980s 5\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e What Cities and Towns are in Walla Walla County, Washington (and in this book)?\u003cbr\u003e Adkins, Ash, Attalia, Ayer, Babcock, Baker-Langdon, Berryman, Bolles, Burbank, Burbank Heights, Buroker, Burr, Calhounville, Chew, Climax, Clyde, College Place, Coppei, Dixie, Dixie Crossing, Eastman, Elwood, Ennis, Eureka, Five Points, Gardena, Garrett, Gilliam, Hadley, Harbert, Harsha, Harvey, Hatch, Humorist, Kibler, Kooskooskie, Lamar, Langdon, Le Grow, Lee, Lowden, Magallon, Matthew, Minnick, Mojonnier, Paddock, Page, Pedigo, Pickard, Port Kelley, Prescott, Reese, Rifton, Robinson, Rulo, Russell, Ruxby, Sapolil, Scott, Sheffler, Slater, Stateline, Sudbury, Thiel, Thomas, Tompkins, Touchet, Tracy, Two Rivers, Valley Grove, Villard Junction, Waiilatpo (historical), Waitsburg, Walker, Walla Walla, Wallula, Wallula Junction, Welland, Zangar Junction","brand":"Arphax Publishing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053627883760,"sku":"9781420315387","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781420315387_p0.jpg?v=1763739969","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420315387","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
