Notes:
- Based on comparisons with other sources, the land ownership maps and entries in the Patron's Directory of the 1922 Standard Atlas date from mid-to late 1920 not 1922.
- The Standard Atlas scanned for the majority of the maps presented here belonged to W.B. Coston. W.B. made extensive notes on some of the map plates during the 1940s and 1950s. For the most part these notes were easily filtered out. You may, however, note "stray" pencil markings that were not removed. In at at least one instance an owner's name W.B. had erased was restored based on an identical plate in another copy of the atlas.
- I scanned the 70 township plates from two different atlases using a variety of equipment. While most of the plates were scanned in color, a few plates were done in grayscale and at least two appear in black and white.
- The 2500 x 2500 plate images were converted to 800 x 800 pixel, 16 color GIFs to cut down the download file size of the map images to present here. The size change made some of the fine print hard to read and the color limitation introduced some false paper color changes.
- Full size 8 x 8 inch, 300 dpi images of each plate, suitable for printing, can be found in the USGenWeb Digital Map Library.
