This atlas is one of the
more common of the historic maps of Madison County - one or more being
found in any good local history collection, and atlases of similar date
and quality are found for almost every county in the state. It is
in book form and each township has its own page and many villages and hamlets
have separate inset maps. These maps are wonderfully detailed, showing
land divisions (tracts and lots), houses, mills, cemeteries, roads, and
a great variety of geographical features. Being the third generation
of the mass-produced all-encompassing maps of the area, there are fewer
errors in the situation of the lots and roads, but some few are still present.
The Town of Fenner includes all or parts of four different tracts:
- Mile Strip (MS), in two tiers of Lots across the top of the Town of Fenner (Lots 28, 29, 30, 31, 44, 45, 46, 47, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, and 67).
- 2nd Allotment New Petersburg (NP2), the eastern edge of the Town of Fenner includes two tiers of Lots from NP2 (Lots 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 29, 30, 36, 37, 43, 44, 50, and 51).
- 3rd Allotment New Petersburg (NP3), all of this Tract (excepting Lots 36, 43, and 50 [in Cazenovia]), is within the Town of Fenner.
- 4th Allotment New Petersburg (NP4), on the western edge of the Town of Fenner, (all or part of Lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11).
