About the Bureau of Land Management
They have almost finished digitizing all the records. You can access the
original
patients, surveys and other great info from your arm chair. There are
several ways
you can sort the patients (find the neighbors). Here is the link.......Enjoy

Hey, if you live in a public land state, see who took the patient out on
where you
live now. I had my mind blown when I found out my farm in Colorado was owned
by one of the settlers of the Union Colony. There is even a lake named after
him.

For the very best understanding of the public land states is to visit
your nearest Bureau of Land Management office. You will learn the
easiest way to read the deeds (yes, read right to left in the
description . That is from the greatest amount to the least amount of
area.)
But, you will learn what other records they may have, or can get for
you. You may see microfilm (maybe digital now) of the original
surveyors maps showing every tufts of grass (well almost) original
waterways etc. They will probably still have blank forms so that you
can (make a dozen copies :-D) draw out the tracts.
It is time well spent and you will gain valuable tools. Check for
the nearest office, make an appointment, even take a buddy or two.

The sample map is of the Mountain View, Arkansas area with the White River
to the north northeast.? Go to
http://www.arkansashighways.com/planning_research/mapping_graphics/county_ma
ps.aspx and select Stone County which will give you a map showing that
T14NR12W is in the correct position to agree with the test map.
