Abstract
Three maps compiled from surveys of records in the Virginia Land Office by J. Wise Norton, examiner of land titles, Wheeling,
West Virginia. Though created in the 1880s, the maps depict the counties as they were in the mid 1790s. The maps are "Copy
of J. Wise Norton's Map of Adjoining Surveys. Surveyed 1795-1796 in Lee County, Virginia" (ca. 1880s); "Copy of J. Wise Norton's
Map of Connected Surveys. Surveyed AD 1795-1796 as in Kanawha County, Virginia" (1880s); and "Map of Connected Surveys made
in the years 1794 and 1795 in Russell and Wythe Counties, Virginia" (1887). Also includes a CD (2013) which contains digital
images of the three maps, as well as images of another of Norton's maps, "Map of Connected Surveys. Surveyed AD. 1795-1796
as in Kanawha County, Virginia" (1883).
