Description
Before Georgia's land lotteries of 1805-1833, land surveyors measured the districts to be distributed and created plat maps. These are the field notes from the original surveys., These field notebooks accompany the District Plats of Survey, though not all field notebooks have a corresponding plat map (some plat maps from these original surveys no longer survive, and some plat maps were created from later surveys).
