List of
Maps Created By the Emmitsburg Historical Society
Well we are 2/3rds of
the way
through our goal of identifying all the landholders since the original
royal land grants. Using public
records and land transfer deeds, we have produced maps showing the
changes of land ownership for the entire region in ten year increments,
beginning in 1754.
It is our fervent hope, that family names identified
during this research will trigger input from genealogist and family
history buffs from across the country. Our land transfer
information is just a skeleton outline of our history, we're depending
on visitors like you to add the 'meat to the bones'.
Below is a list of the maps, and links to them, we have created to date. The maps are formatted for views in a computer browser, but are not suitable for printing. If you would like a higher resolution version of any of the map below suitable for printing and framing, please click on the link below.

weeks will be adding all the deeds we've gotten over the past few
months - so check back in frequently to find out what's new.
In addition, we also

Emmitsburg Area.
