National Mapping
Information
- I have found most helpful
LINK to finding cemeteries that are now off the beaten
path.
(graves with stones dating back to the 1800s)
Many of the community are no longer on the map.
Using this
LINK you will able to get the location, including the
Global Positioning System (GPS) codes for the cemetery, as well
as the map points for some current day known locations.
Using these points you will able to find the old
cemetery.
Having the current locations plotted, you will be able to
say we had gone too far south, west, north, etc., and zero in on
the cemetery.
You can also use this site to locate the creek
that was
listed as the source on a specific land grant, and you will be
able to
determine where the "old homestead" really was.
- This
LINKcan also be used for finding cemeteries, hospitals,
churches, schools, military(historical) and Ect.
