Our goal at Ancestor Tracks is to publish maps and land ownership information allowing genealogy researchers to pinpoint where our ancestors lived. The state of Pennsylvania began platting the exact metes-and-bounds tracts of the earliest landowners, township-by-township, starting in 1907, but the Land Office only completed about 1/3 of the state before the project ended. Unfortunately, Pennsylvania did not plat the tracts of the earliest landowners of Wyoming County.
In lieu of being able to bring you Township Warrantee Maps of the earliest settlers, we are posting completely free, downloadable images of Topographical map of Wyoming Co. Pennsylvania from Recent and Actual Surveys and Records, under the Superintendence of F. W. Beers (New York, 1869). This map, found in the Library of Congress, is in the public domain but the images we have taken of the map posted below belong to us and are not to be used for commercial use. For those wishing to use the images for personal use (including illustrating a family history you are working on), we give permission to use them, but we would appreciate attribution to Ancestor Tracks. It takes much time and effort to locate, process, and post these and the many other county images we have posted, so we expect and appreciate this courtesy. We hope that you will find this atlas a useful tool for when coupled with the 1860, 1870, and 1880 census and published county histories. Click on the township of your choice and once the image has downloaded completely, click on it again to enlarge and clarify it. All images may be saved to your computer by right-clicking and selecting "Save Image As..."
