Luzerne County

The Land Office of Pennsylvania completed Township Warrantee Maps for all of Luzerne County which we hope to transcribe at some time. But you may access them immediately through the courtesy of the Pennsylvania Archives in Harrisburg--see the links below. You may also order paper copies from the Archives/ You can use also the images of the warrantee maps from the 1873 Atlas of Luzerne County which we are posting here. There are better, colored images of this map on the Lackawanna County GenWeb Project site (see below), but they are split into numerous pages and "Lackawanna PAGenWeb" is superimposed over each image, so it may be easier to first locate your ancestor on our maps and then see the colored images posted on Lackawanna's GenWeb site. The 1873 atlas is also online at the USGenweb Archives. Once you click on one of our images and it is on your screen, it can be enlarged by clicking on the image, and it may be saved to your computer by right-clicking and selecting "Save Image As..." As always, you may print it out freely, but we would appreciate it if you would mention that you got it at http://ancestortracks.com.

The Lackawanna County GenWeb Project has posted images from Atlas of Luzerne County Pennsylvania. From actual Surveys by and under the direction of D. G. Beers & Co., 1873. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page where "Warrant Map of the North Eastern Part of Luzerne County," "Warrant Map of the Western Part of Luzerne County" and "Warrant Map of the Southern Part, plus Wilkes Barre" show the first landowners of the county. If your ancestor was actually a first landowner in the county, purchasing his or her property from the colony or state of Pennsylvania, he or she should be shown on these warrantee maps. Further details regarding these tracts can be found in the Warrant Register and Patent Register on file at the Pennsylvania Archives in Harrisburg and available on CD from Ancestor Tracks.

The following Township Warrantee Maps on file at the Pennsylvania Archives, showing the metes-and-bounds plats of the first landowners of the county, have generously been posted by the Pennsylvania Archives in Harrisburg. These Township Warrantee Maps show the first purchasers of land from the colony or state of Pennsylvania, usually from the 1700s. Paper copies may be ordered from them as well.
