Scope and Content Note

This is a series of 61 volumes of surveys of unappropriated state lands or, in a few cases, land being resold. Many are surveys of land in the state's military tract, the Totton and Crossfield Purchase, or George Scriba's patent (6 volumes). Although the extent of information included varies from volume to volume, they generally contain the following: survey notes and remarks on the land; name of surveyor; name and/or number of township, tract, or lot; county; date survey was completed and/or filed; occasional rough maps of land surveyed; and valuations of some lots.
