Now I'm impressed. I had found it on a historical site last night and was going to order a reproduction.
Not even going to ask how you did that, but if you look in the lower right hand corner, above the "S" and one row to the left, you will see a "section" bought by J.H. Parker (my ancestor) <to the left of block 616> The rumor mongers tell me he owned 12,000 to 30,000 acres at one time or another and I'm going to put together these maps as I find them for reference. What is interesting in this one is that it shows his property was on grays branch creek And the map 20 years later doesn't show the creek at all I had always thought the original homestead was to the north of the little devils river, but via the map I'm able to prove that it actually was to the south and if this comes through properly, near the creek in this picture in tract 4737 https://propaccess.trueautomation.com/Map/View/Map/79/11506/2014 I can kind of tell where the original homestead might have been, so now I'm going to try and hitch a ride on a helicopter to scope it out, or possibly get permission from the current land owner to check it out Thanks, Virgil -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Crozier Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2014 3:57 AM To: ProFox Email List Subject: RE: [NF] anybody know how I can print or view this full size ( JPEG 2000 - *.JP2 ) Virgil, Download it from my dropbox in JPG format so anything will read/print it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tqo22z5vhxf7l45/Kimble_County.jpg Dave -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Virgil Bierschwale Sent: 03 March 2014 17:32 To: [email protected] Subject: [NF] anybody know how I can print or view this full size ( JPEG 2000 - *.JP2 ) http://www.loc.gov/item/2012592054 I've been messing with it all morning. I'm willing to buy a plotter if that will help me to print it out full size, but at this point everything I have thrown against it doesn't work. GIMP will allow me to view it, but when you attempt to zoom in and read the land owners name, it gets too blurry Thanks, Virgil Bierschwale Covering the Paradise Triangle www.ParadiseTriangle.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
