Survey field notes, 1824-1890.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32414183

The series contains the field notes created by the surveyors in Florida who delineated the boundaries of townships, ranges, and sections throughout the Territory/State beginning in 1824. These notes provided the basis for establishing boundaries of land that were divided and sold. The bulk of the surveys were executed throughout the nineteenth century with the later surveys being done as the population moved south in the state. Some twentieth century material is included and deals with "resurveys" or new surveys of virgin territory.
