[or-roots] Surveyor's notes website

[Robyn Greenlund]

Tip for those of you using Firefox - it hates this site! 
I had to open the site in a IE window to get it to open at all.
Didn't try Netscape or Opera...

But thanks for posting it anyway!

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
