JEFFERSON COUNTY ORIGINAL SURVEYS

By Jim Johnston

These surveys were taken from an "Early Survey Map of Jefferson County" and include adjacent surveys from St. Louis, Franklin and Ste. Genevieve Counties.  Unfortunately, there weren't any dates on the Surveys or on the map itself.  Most of these early Missouri (Territory) Land Grants were from the Spanish and French Governments.
