Ginny, I ordered map books from the Farm and Home Publishers. These books are current. With the legal description of the land and the current street names, I found it very easy to physically locate my ancestors' land. Their map books are for sale, by County and run about $30.00 each. I found them worth their weight in gold. Their web site is: www.farmandhomepublishers.com Catherine ----- Original Message ----- From: <GinToney@aol.com> To: <IOWA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 2:12 PM Subject: [IOWA] land location in Clarke Co > > I'm new to the list.
