Abstract: Original manuscript plats of townships in Kansas (rolls 23-31 of National Archives microfilm publication T1234). In addition to showing the township and section lines, many of these plats also show drainage, roads & trails, Indian villages, boundaries of private land claims & grants and Indian cessions & reservations, sections reserved for schools or other use, cultivated fields, swamplands, and forested areas. Acreage is indicated for fractional sections. Descriptive information about the soils and corner section posts is sometimes given on the reverse of the plats. Most of the plats formerly maintained in the local land offices bear annotations that show land entry numbers referring to the original sale or disposition of each parcel of land to the first landholders or entrymen. In a few instances the names of the original landholders or entrymen also appear on the plats.
