Scope and Content:
This series consists of a very large oversize volume of copies of plats of towns, townships, baronies, and other tracts. The copies were made by or under the supervision of Surveyor General Daniel H. Tillinghast beginning in about 1820. Originals of some of the plats are held by the repository, but others are not known to be extant. Plats and plans are scale drawings and show the scale to which they are drawn; acreage; boundary markers; natural features; improvements, if any; and the names of surrounding landowners. Roads, creeks, branches, swamps, and the like are named.
