Hamilton county Ranges, Towns and Sections in 1853
The land in Hamilton County has been surveyed three different ways in three separate areas - Symmes purchase between the Miami rivers, government survey next to Indiana border and Virginia Military warrants in Anderson twp. (see above). To trace property in the county, it is necessary to understand the nomenclature of how the townships and sections are arranged and identified. This 1853 map illustrates the Range-Town-Section arrangement in Hamilton County.
