Lackawanna County Warrantee Township Maps
Lackawanna County
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. (Philadelphia: A Pomeroy & Co, 1873) which then included Lackawanna Co. 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, showing the metes-and-bounds plats of the first landowners of the county, have been placed online by the Pennsylvania Archives in Harrisburg (the maps below are large and will take time to completely download). Paper versions of these maps are also available from the Archives.
