Texas Land Survey Maps for Fannin County

Texas Land Survey Maps for Fannin County, by Gregory A. Boyd, J.D., 208 pages, with 54 maps; Paperback, 8.5x11 inches, Publ. 2010. 

This is an indispensable book for any researcher interested in Fannin County's history or land (or both), or its first landowners after Texas's Independence from Mexico. Each book in this series is laid out into multiple maps using a 6-mile high by 4-mile wide grid. This book contains 49 Survey maps laid out within this grid. Each Land Survey Map shows the boundaries of original parcels laid out over existing roads, railroads, waterways. These are shown as well as the original Survey-Name and the Abstract Number assigned by the Texas General Land Office to the instrument that gave ownership to that parcel.
