Madison
Parish Patentee Map Index These are color-coded maps showing
properties bought from the US General Land Office (GLO) by Madison Parish’s
earliest landowners. Most of these tracts were purchased during the middle
1800’s. Each township is mapped separately on the original 1820-1830 surveys.
Each tract shows the original owner and the date the tract was purchased. The
individual maps are hyperlinked to the Index
which shows the entire parish. The map to the left is an example of the
township maps. It shows the original landowners in Township 15 North - Range 13
East. Click on it (maybe twice) to enlarge it. Twenty-six townships are
available from Township 14 North - Range 9 East in the
southwestern part of the parish through Township 18 North - Range 14 East in
the northeastern part. For more on this and a list of the
original landowners click here.

to the many land description mistakes and omissions in the 1903 tax rolls, some
property locations may be totally unreliable.
