Scope and Content

Scope and content:

Maps & notes describing townships & ranges; sub-divisional, exterior, standard parallel (south), & 5th Guide Meridian (west) lines; and the south boundary of Kansas. Alphabetical list of surveyors with contract and survey dates.

Plats chiefly show township and section lines, but occasionally show natural features and vegetation, including prairie, timber, bodies of water, and fields. Man-made features infrequently included are: wagon trails, military/civil roads, settlements, town sites, and buildings.

From KSLS website: "During the course of the project additional users were identified: Geography and natural resource personnel could identify and accurately plot ancient stream banks and terrain conditions; genealogy researchers could locate original tracts and patents not available elsewhere, historians can accurately plot trails and roads shown on the original plats."
