| Photocopies of three Boone Co., MO, plat maps were
kindly sent to me by my aunt, Betty Ann (Matthiesen) Cogliati. These
photocopies appear to be from a book described by the following source:
Nadine Hodges, Mrs. John Vineyard, & Mars. Howard W. Woodruff.
1968. Missouri Pioneers: County and Genealogical Records.
Vol. II. Self-published, Kansas City, MO, which states on p. 17:
I have made diagrammatic maps of these three plats, and I have made
every-name indices to them. The indices in Hodges et al. were
very incomplete, mostly because they excluded patents after 1833, but in
part because they simply appear to have missed some (e.g., Thomas
Thompson's 1821 patent in T48N.R13W):
The maps were reduced to 8½x11 in the photocopies, and each had a column of Sections missing. Still, I've reproduced what there is in the form of HTML tables. A table is not as pretty as a graphic image, but JPGs of these maps would be huge files, so I'm opting for a fast download as opposed to pretty. If you are not familiar with the Public Land Survey System (PLS), where
land is described by Aliquot, Section, Township, and Range, please see
this explanation [UNDER CONSTRUCTION
— really]. In the PLS System, a Township consists of
36 one-mile-square Sections. Here is the pattern of section numbers:
It is a limitation of HTML that I cannot superimpose the Section numbers in the diagrammatic maps linked above, so I have tinted alternate Sections in the pattern shown in this diagram. |
