My ggg grandfather, James Wickersham, is buried in Johnsonville Cemetery. He lived around there with his daughter, Arilla Lewis. Don Lewis showed me the location, but I don't have it on a map. The platt maps I have for my grandfather's property in Nebraska (1904), shows section lines and landowner names. > > BTW, 281K for a map image is rather small, as images go. It doesn't take much space on your hard disk. This of course depends on your allocation. It also explains why it is somewhat poor quality. It is squeezing 1569 x 1196 pixels (1,876,524 pixels x 3 bytes/pixel = 5,629,572 bytes or 5 MB into a mere 287,085 bytes (281 KB), or about 1/20-th of the original size. > > Thanks for any suggestions, > > Tony Wickersham > Computer Programmer > Laramie, Wyoming > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: d1anna [SMTP:[email protected]] > > Sent: Sunday, September 15, 2002 8:20 PM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: [ILWAYNE-L] 1875 Platt Maps > > > > Wayne Co., IL Researchers > > > > Here's a link that has many of the IL counties and platt maps for 1875. > > I just checked. > > > > The map at this URL for Wayne Co., IL is the same map that 'used' to be > > on the site.
