District Plats of Survey
Original surveys of land districts in counties made prior to distribution of land by lottery, 1805-1833, plus resurveys or renewed surveys of districts. These records are from Record Group 003-03-024, Surveyor General -- Survey Records -- District Plats of Survey.
These plats are accompanied by District Survey Field Notebooks. Not all plats are accompanied by field notes. Some districts were resurveyed at a later date and the plat is from the second survey while the field notes are from the original survey, and some field notebooks have not survived.
