Thank you for your response. Which library are you referring to? A great topic to discuss, we all need to locate these maps. The older maps are certainly something we all should be looking for in our research of our cemeteries. In the ones I've found in our county, only the biggest town cemeteries are marked. And usually with the brackets [ cem ]. Or has anyone else found different symbols? I know we have a number of older plat maps dating from 1850 that were in small books. Then we had a few other printed. 1866 map with township plats. 1878 Atlas 1888 Atlas, very hard to find. It has the old schools marked. Then I assume there are only plat books after this? A good question to pursue. It wasn't until the 1980's that our county found the other half of our cemeteries and started to add them to the county maps. The city engineer only knew of 60 on a 1960 map, then area plan started their project in 1986, we now have 133. And know hints of another 60 farm cemeteries. These are probably destroyed.

And usually with the brackets [ cem ]. Or > has anyone else found different symbols? I've found a cross marking the locations of a cemetery on some maps. Other time, I've found the symbol of a church, which does not now exist, but the cemetery is extant. The 1876 Indiana Atlas, reprinted by the Indiana Historical Society, is where I've found both types of symbols. Check the Tippecanoe County map for Section 7 in Lauramie Township, also Section 10 just west of the community of Monroe. Sharon Howell
