2. The Antique Maps Project.
The First Landowners Project currently maps approximately 8.8 million original landowners among 21 different states (Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin). We will continue to add more of the Western states soon; information on eastern states can be found on our frequently asked questions blog entry.
The Antique Maps Project is an ever-growing collection of historical maps. At present, we are adding primarily maps that contain names of landowners. Many of these maps are indexed and searchable, and the ones that are not will be (thanks to our volunteer labeling program).
You can learn more about our service, by reading our blog, blog.historygeo.com, with posts that highlight the usage of both projects. But the quickest way to learn more is to check out the following:
