Summary:
Verplanck Colvin and his field assistants created this series using the field notes they compiled during their survey of the

of the natural and built environment (such as lakes, rivers, ponds, mountains, roads, and railroads) as well as names of property
owners, lot numbers, and pertinent landmarks used in land surveying.
