Search Story Co. 1883 Land Owners
The 1883 Story County map with landowners was published in 1883 by Warner & Foote of Minneapolis, MN. It is available at the Library of Congress, link here. It is a single large document containing all townships showing major land owners in the county. The names were obviously taken from county records. Lot owners in towns were not included. Since owners are listed, the actual residents are not evident as many properties may have been rented.
Each township is organized into 36 sections. This index was created by transcribing the owner names and the township and section location of the land.
The following information is displayed:
The information contained in this index contains errors. Some may have been made in the orginal court documents. Some were made by the map company when it created the Atlas. And, of course, this transcription of the Atlas may have introduced errors. If information contained here is important to your research, you should verify it.
