I wanted also to find ot about townships and I contacted the site manager at gnis because i figured that town ships should also be mapped and he advised the following. in the name field make the following entry: """fayette, township of"""" in the type of feature, select """civil""" the quotations are mine. I tried it looking for a township in ohio and it worked like a charm. thhttp://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html hope it works for you. If you have problems, send me the township name and the state and I will do it for you .jack burke crescent city calif At 03:38 PM 6/19/98 -0500, Shabbyacre@aol.com wrote: >I am having trouble relating townships to counties.  So many times i run >across something that will just give the township.  Does anyone out there know >of a master list with county names that would show all townships within that >county.  I know that they have probably changed over the years but would find >it helpful to know that at least at sometime the particular township was in a >certain county of the state interested in. > >Thanks for any help or advice > >lila miller > > >==== GenTips Mailing List ==== >If you need to unsubscribe to GenTips email the command: >unsubscribe >To: >GenTips-L-REQUEST@rootsweb.com >DON'T send it to GenTips-L that won't work! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
