Parish Patentee Map Index These are color-coded maps showing
properties bought from the US General Land Office (GLO) by 
Madison Parish’s earliest landowners. Most
of these tracts were purchased during the middle 1800’s. Each township is
mapped separately on the original 1820-1830 surveys. Each tract shows the
original owner and the date the tract was purchased. The individual maps are
hyperlinked to the Index
which shows the entire parish. The map to the left is an example of the
township maps. It shows the original landowners in Township 15 North - Range 13
East. Click on it (maybe twice) to enlarge it. Twenty-six townships are
available from Township 14 North - Range 9 East in the southwestern part of the
parish through Township 18 North - Range 14 East in the northeastern part. For
more on this and a list of the original landowners click here.
