Folks- get your Plat Maps- ( don't mean to sound like a carnie barker <g>!) this is so easy and these are so fun to have! Cost is $1.10 a page= just call the BLM- 916-978-4336- give them the Township , Range, Meridian, and Section --- For references on what you want use the Mariposa Web site Land Records- ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ca/mariposa/land/mariposa.txt They ship them out immediately- I have found some old names on the sections I received---as well as mine locations etc. Really a great addition to your research files! Best , Carolyn
