Book + CD. This Greene County atlas contains all of the Township Warrantee Maps which are on file at the Pennsylvania Archives in Harrisburg, thus pinpointing the location of the earliest landowners. Each Township Warrantee Map was painstakingly platted by draftsmen from the original warrants, surveys, and patents. The maps show precise outlines of each original tract and all surrounding tracts in the township, giving the names of the warrantee and patentee; dates of the warrant, survey, and patent; and the patent and survey books and page of the recorded patent. This atlas contains one chapter for each township, the plats being warranted as early as 1769 and as late as the 1920s. Numerous reference notes from Greene County history references have been added, and an every name index is included. The large map images (averaging about 3' X 4') without coordinates and are contained on a companion CD.
