Hi, I was wondering where in proximity to Pleasant Ridge is Union Township? We are still chasing after Jim's Great Grandmother Sophronia Davenport Wiseman Montgomery. For the 1870 Census, I have written down four Wiseman households. John, Mary and Thomas are all on pg # 180 in Union Twp, while Sophronia is on pg #165 in Pleasant Ridge.. We know she was with the Wiley C. King family at that time. Thank you, Judie Montgomery

Hi Judie! Try the URL http://www.skpub.com/genie/census/ar/fulton.html to see a map of Fulton County township boundaries. This is a single page on the web site at http://www.skpub.com/genie/index.html which provides County/township maps for the entire United States. This shows us that Union Township is in south central Fulton County. You will probably have to use the GNIS at http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form to learn that Pleasant Ridge Church is located on Highway 9 about midway between Salem and Mammoth Springs and hence located some ten or fifteen miles north of Union Township. On the other hand, we have the Pleasant Ridge Townhip lying in the southeast corner of Fulton County and some ten miles east of Union Township. The GNIS site can provide all sorts of useful information. In addition to the Feature Location maps that I used to get a quick location of the different Pleasant Ridges, it has black and white aerial photos and USGS topographic maps. Both of these can show individual buildings in the vicinity of rural locations. The topo maps also have an additional feature. If you look at one, you will notice an overlay of red lines in a rectangular pattern. These are the surveyors section lines for that area. With a little effort (Try zooming out on the map), you can identify the section number, township number and range number and thus figure out exactly where some piece of land is from a deed description. -- Robert W.
