[or-roots] Great Website for DLCs

[Kith-n-Kin]

Ran across this today and recalled our discussion a couple of weeks ago re: Donation Land Claims.

This is a website where you can, by Twp and Range, look at original surveyors notes.

http://www.aocweb.org/fieldnotes_100/

I didn't find any index where you could find names, but, if you know the original DLC number, and/or name
of the patentee, you may find some very interesting stuff.

The only one I found in 6S1W was Samuel Allen. When I have time, I'll look for more. I wonder if anyone
has ever done an index?

ALSO -- sorry to shout -- today I was told that every township (i.e. 06S1W Willamette Meridian) had to
have a name. Sure enough, in South Dakota, they were named.  Outside of precincts, which appear to cross
township boundaries, I have not seen labels for Oregon.

Does anyone know more about this?

Thanks
