John
C. Lyon's Old Somerset Hundreds and Land Grant Maps. The
map series here is based on an ongoing, now largely complete mapping of
all original private Provincial and State land grants (patents) made
from 1662 to the present in the original ("Old") Somerset County,
Maryland. This region now includes the present areas of Somerset,
Wicomico and Worcester Counties, and almost half of Sussex County,
Delaware. This includes both original surveys of "vacant" lands and all
Provincial or State level revisions to those through various authorized
resurveys. The mapping also includes all surviving unpatented
certificates of survey, which - while they may not have been finally
established as grants for a variety of reasons - offer insights into
the development of the County, the time of arrival of early settlers or
presence of individuals not elsewhere recorded.
