Administrative History
These maps were collected and/or created by the Office of the State Comptroller for the purpose of identifying land to be sold for unpaid taxes. Beginning in 1809 the comptroller began to require (from county boards of supervisors) maps of lands that were to be sold for unpaid taxes, so that those lands could be more accurately located and described. The result was this collection of manuscript maps.
