What do you do with these maps?

First visit Illinois Public Domain Land Sales or the Bureau of Land Management and hunt for your ancestors. You can also use any land record information you have. The Public Domain Land Sales and Bureau of Land Management sites ONLY show the first purchaser from the government.

Note that the eastern boundary of Logan County -- the line on your right as you face your computer, is the 3rd Principal Meridian.

Jot down the Township, Range and Section number from whatever record you have, then come to this map page and locate the land.

Example: My GGGgrandfather Samuel Downing bought land in Chester Township 19 (T19N), Range 2 West (R2W), NW quarter of the SE quadrant of Section 33. Find that point where T19 & R2W intersect, view the plat map for that Section and that little square with a number 33 on it in is what Samuel bought [the land includes the Downing Cemetery he donated].
