Texas Land Survey Maps for Bastrop County by Gregory Boyd

An indispensable book for any serious professional or researcher interested in Bastrop County's history or land (or both), or its first landowners after Texas's Independence from Mexico. Each book in this series is laid out into multiple maps using a 6 mile high by 4 mile wide grid. This book contains 54 such Land Survey maps. Each Land Survey Map shows the boundaries of original parcels laid out over existing roads, railroads, waterways. These are shown as well as the original Survey-Name (person responsible for the survey) and the Abstract Number assigned by the Texas General Land Office to the instrument that gave ownership to that parcel. Beyond the Bastrop County Land Survey maps, there are equally useful indexes to give you the real details behind each parcel of land and its original survey-name and ownership. Other Maps Included . . .

But the truth is that most counties took decades to settle and it is not unusual to find counties where the first patent might date in the 1820s and the last one may be in the 1920s. The important thing to remember is that these are FIRST landowners---not for just a single date---but each parcel is labeled using the first landowner. You can answer this question with total accuracy by searching the patents in the county you are interested in at www.glorecords.blm.gov. This is, after all, our source for the patents that we map.
