Land Grant Maps Landing Page

Thanks to the generosity Jack Masters and Bill Puryear, their work on mapping early land grants in Middle Tennessee is available online through the Tennessee State Library & Archives.

These maps showing the land grant boundaries imposed over a current-day topographical map were published in three volumes which are now out of print.

Search for names of land grant owners in the Genealogy Index here.

Search for landmarks such as rivers, stations and roads using the list here.

Individual maps may be reproduced for research purposes.

Publication for resale or reposting is prohibited.
