ORIGINAL MAP OF OHIO SHOWING SYSTEM OF GOVT. SURVEYS, CR 1897 H. B. STRANAHAN

Description: ORIGINAL MAP OF OHIO SHOWING SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT SURVEYS, COPYRIGHT 1897 BY H. B. STRANAHAN, CLEVELAND, O. (DETAILS DESCRIBED BELOW) THIS INTERESTING MAP SHOWS THE OHIO LANDS WHICH WERE THE SEVERAL GRANTS, TRACTS, DISTRICTS AND CESSION WHICH MAKE UP WHAT IS NOW OHIO (FROM WIKIPEDIA). THESE ARE SUPERIMPOSED ON THE COUNTY MAP OF OHIO. AS INDICATED ON THE MAP, THE INDIVIDUAL COUNTY TOWNSHIPS ARE SHOWN IN FIGURES WHILE THE RANGE NUMBERS ARE IN ROMAN LETTERS. I HAVE SHOWN 2 MAPS FROM THE INTERNET THAT SHOW MORE DETAIL REGARDING EACH OF THE OHIO LANDS SECTIONS (SEE 'OHIO LANDS' IN WIKIPEDIA WHERE EACH OF THE TRANSACTIONS ARE DESCRIBED IN MORE DETAIL). MOST OF WHAT MAKES UP THESE INDIVIDUAL TRACTS WERE DETERMINED IN THE 1700's AND EARLY 1800's. THE BACK OF THIS MAP IS BLANK. THERE IS NO PAGE NUMBER SHOWN ON THE MAP WHICH SUGGESTS IT WAS NOT REMOVED FROM AN ATLAS CONTAINING MANY MAPS. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE FROM WIKIPEDIA DESCRIBING THE TRACT LABELLED 'SYMMES PURCHASE': "The Symmes Purchase, also known as the Miami Purchase, was an area of land totaling roughly 311,682 acres (487.003 sq mi; 1,261.33 km2)[1] in what is now Hamilton, Butler, and Warren counties of southwestern Ohio, purchased by Judge John Cleves Symmes of New Jersey in 1788 from the Continental Congress." I COULD NOT FIND THIS SPECIFIC MAP ON THE INTERNET. HOWEVER, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MAPS BY H. B. STRANAHAN FROM THE LATE 1800's AND EARLY 1900's THAT ARE REFERENCED THERE. MOST OF THESE ARE OF OHIO AND INDIVIDUAL PARTS OF OHIO (e.g,. CLEVELAND). CONDITION OF THT MAP IS VERY GOOD. SOME SLIGHT UNIFORM YELLOWING/BROWNING DUE TO AGEING. IT WILL LOOK GREAT FRAMED. MAP WILL BE SHIPPED IN A STURDY BOX VIA USPS PRIORITY MAIL THANKS FOR LOOKING!
