Standard Atlas of McLean County, North Dakota, 1914


Ancestry.com has a nice collection of land ownership atlases. None (yet) from Wyoming, but I still have lots of newspapers to rummage through there, so can hardly complain. Anyhow, while Mom's family was pioneering Wyoming, Dad's family was pioneering McLean County, North Dakota.

The cover of the atlas is here:

From page 95:
Renfrow, Joseph, Farmer, S. 24, T. 147, R. 81, P. O. Turtle Lake. Mr. Renfrow was born in Missouri in 1858 and settled in McLean County in 1902. He is married to Laura A. Crawford; they are the parents of eight children.

From page 96:
Rutter, Edward, Farmer, S. 13, T. 149, R. 80, P. O. Ruso. Mr. Rutter was born in England in 1864 and settled in McLean County in 1911. He is married to Matilda Severson; they are the parents of two children.

The attached map segment is from page 34 of the atlas. My brain is hiccuping (today, anyhow) on what the Township/Range would be for the next block to the east. Maybe tomorrow! This is on the eastern edge of Township 146, Range 81...
