This series was originally indexed by Series A4694, Old index to field books and maps, 1762-1843. This index has been superseded for all practical purposes by Mix, David E.E. "Catalogue of Maps and Surveys in the Office of the Secretary of State, State Engineer and Surveyor, and Comptroller and the State Library" (Albany: 1859).

Volume list.

Some volumes have indexes to purchasers of lots for particular areas, grants, purchases, etc., or listing number of lot, value, or improvements.

Maps in custody of the Office of General Services which relate to the surveyor general's copy of land surveys are generally referred to as "Maps in Portfolios", (within Mix's "Catalogue of Maps and Surveys...", pp. 8-35).

Field notes and maps are indexed in Freeborn G. Jewett, comp., Cataloogue of Records of the Office of Secretary of State (Albany: 1898), pages 32-123.
