Google plat map of your county and see what comes up.
Plat books are atlases that show land ownership for rural areas. They generally feature one township (36 square miles) per page and focus on rural property ownership. Sections, roads, railroads, urban extent, township maps, county maps, and an index to property owners are usually included. Nineteenth-century county plat books, sometimes called "county histories," often included family biographies, portraits, and illustrations of homes and prized livestock. Contemporary commercial plat books publishers tend to focus on specific geographic regions.
