The plats and surveys on this page were extracted from Book, 34 Plats and Surveys, 3rd Surveyors District, 1807-1814. There are 357 pages of un-numbered surveys in that book. Many are from older and greater Warren County. Only a few are published herein.
The small Plat graphics were made from photocopies which were made from the microfilm of the original Plats. Hence the generally poor quality of the graphics. Original spelling and punctuation were closely followed in this transcription.
