At the time I contacted the Pendleton County Surveyor, I was interested in maps of the county areas north of Franklin. I ordered several for the North Fork areas and two for the area covered by the Maxwell Survey. I did not ask about anything south of Franklin and I was told there was nothing with plots for the area along the South Branch - but that may have been with the understanding that my immediate interest did not include areas south of Franklin. I was researching family lines - Mallow, Hinkle, Harman, Miller, Bush, Hoover, Reed - and had no thought of involvement in a mapping project. The older maps for the North Fork area are not detailed and less helpful but certainly of interest for those researching that area. Steve and I had both looked for any historical or current map that showed Shelton's Upper Tract and found none at that time. The historical references were unclear as to its location and somewhat confusing, at the time, as to its origin. There are individual surveys for most all parcels in Pendleton County but some are found in other counties for whatever time frame all or portions of now Pendleton County were under those jurisdictions (Augusta, Hampshire, Hardy, etc) I have not located any recorded map of surveys although surveys made in the same area on or about the same date are usually near each other in the survey books - like the 1753 surveys for Ulrich Conrad, Michael Mallo, and Jacob Seybert found in the Augusta County survey book.

Has the progress of Shelton's Upper Tract been made public anywhere? Also, in particular I believe it is a scan of Isaac Kile's survey (Hollingsworth tracts) that I am looking for. I had this on an email scan a while back. I can not recover it because my old computer "bit the dust." Another area of interest is the portion of Pendleton (along 220) south of Franklin in the Ft. Trout Rock area (near the caves). Is there any map in existence that shows the surveys of those lands? (current or past) Thank you for your assistance.
