Does anyone know of a current source for Land Lottery Maps for a specific original county, or lottery district within a county, showing the location of land lots within a given district? For example, I would like to know the location of each Lot in the 15th Lottery District of original Carroll County (later Troup Co.) GA. All I can find on the web is Hall's map, http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/hallsmap.htm and that just shows the original counties and sections or districts within them. I've been at this for a while, and I used to be able to order such maps from the GA Archives. This was in the late 1970's. Then I heard there was a private company which had them for sale. Lately, I've heard nothing. All I can find on the web is that the Cobb Co. Library "has a great collection of these maps." But I'm in Phoenix, AZ. I know these maps exist, and any suggestions as to how to obtain copies of them, or how to locate them on the web, would be appreciated. Thanks, Lew Griffin

Lew, The tax assessor for most counties sell them, or someone in that office can probably tell you where to purchase a copy. I've paid between $3.00 and $6.00 for each county map; the price is set by each county. Everyone has been very nice about mailing me a copy.

The Georgia Archives has maps for the earliest Lotteries and I would assume they would be the source you need. You may want to contact their main information number to ask them your specific question. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lew Griffin" <lewgriffin@cox.net> To: <GEORGIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 5:15 PM Subject: [GEORGIA] Land Lottery Maps showing specific lots > Does anyone know of a current source for Land Lottery Maps for a > specific original county, or lottery district within a county, showing > the location of land lots within a given district?
