Survey plats are part of the official
record of a cadastral survey. Surveying is the art and
science of measuring the land to locate the limits of an
owner's interest thereon. A cadastral survey is a survey
which creates, marks, defines, retraces or
re-establishes the boundaries and subdivisions of
Federal Lands of the United States. The survey plat is
the graphic drawing of the boundaries involved with a
particular survey project, and contains the official
acreage to be used in the legal description.
Between 1881 & 1882
surveyors conducted the original land survey for the
federal government, marking
out the sections and townships of the area now known as "The
Settlement." The maps below are the
copies of the original plats that were filed in the
Surveyor General's Office in Denver.
The Bureau of Land
Management has made this records along with Federal Land
Patents, available on their web site. www.glorecords.blm.gov
