[or-roots] Downtown Salem map

[Leslie Chapman]

Diane;

I am just dropping in to check my mail and will have to research further just where I got the map, but it should have come from the same source as this one;

http://www.blm.gov/or/landrecords/survey/yPlatView1_2.php?path=POR&name=t330s170e_001.jpg


You go to;

http://www.blm.gov/or/landrecords/survey/ySrvy1.php


and plug in the relevant township and range and then look at the oldest map in the box under "Survey Plats" some times if you can find the right survey notes which isn't always easy for me and I should KNOW how to find them, you get anecdotal information in the original survey like "1/4 corner 36 links SSE of John Brown's barn and 80 links south of the SE corner of his house."  I've never had the good luck to find a note like that about family members but have found some for other people.

I have been attempting to locate 
a map such as this with the land owners written in, only on the east side.  
I changed t70s030w  to t33s017e with no luck.   Any way I can get 
a copy of the orginal landowners here on the east side?  Or did I need to 
write in something different?  Some land here was homesteaded and some was 
Oregon Land Grant.  I am seeking Township 33 South Range 17 East....to 
begin with !!!
 
Also need to find the same type of 
map for the Shedd area.
 
Thanks, Diane

>>That should take you directly to the 1861 DOI plat of Salem. I  had hoped it might include McCubbins property identified by name but  no such luck, this map is solely related to DLC and section  boundaries.
