What Cities and Towns are in Fulton County, Illinois (and in this book)? Dates of patents typically begin near the time of statehood and run into the early 1900s. 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. 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. 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. 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. This volume in the Family Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners (patent maps) in what is now Fulton County, Illinois, gleaned from the indexes of the Illinois State Archives. 382 pages with 86 total mapsLocating original landowners in maps has never been an easy task-until now.
