These are usually restricted to one county and show names of rural landowners and boundaries of individual properties. Plat maps and atlases of the nineteenth century often include illustrations of individual farmsteads and business premises, maps or cities and villages, and locations of schools and cemeteries. Twentieth century versions are generally much simpler.
