>> While we're on the subject of DLCs, one of the things I'm working on is a
>> history of the township that includes Mt. Angel to Silverton.  It is
>> 06S01W.

>> So far, I have gathered the information on the "original" DLCs from the
>> Abstracts, along with the 1862 twp map, and on top of that placed the 
>> 1963
>> "official" cadastral plats of the original owners. (I'm probably mixing

>>
>> I have also "cut and pasted" the 1878 land plats from the Atlas to fit 
>> the
>> township parameters, and coupled it with a 2009 Google Earth image of the
>> area, so anyone can see just where the properties are today. 
>> Fortunately,
>> there were two or three plats which with odd shapes and placement,

>> These are on 11x17 photo paper, and are going to the libraries in

>> and Mt. Angel, as well as the college library there.
>>
>> I believe this will help poor folks (like I was) who show up in the area,

>> the thousand yard stare. "Oh, you might want to look on the wall over
>> there."  Nope.  "Well, you can go to the archives in Salem.. ."  In Mount
>> Angel in particular, the "history" goes back as far as the monastery and
>> influx of German speaking farmers.   At the seminary  at least they had
>> some
>> history of the early settlers, and the interactions with the town.
>>
>> After my visit this month, I'll be able to complete the "genealogical"
>> early
>> history of the area, who married whom, and so on, and what happened to 
>> the
>> families.  Should be fun.
