Even though these maps are for 1930, twps never change...they are a grid system by the government. You can go to the BLM site at http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ and search for land records..this will give your ancestors (if they owned land) land location...you can then check the platt maps to see where they would have been in 1870 Marge
