Welcome to our new 1911 Plat Map page... when I started with the Shawano GenWeb Project in 2001, our neighbour to the east Rita Neustifter, along with the folks at the FHC in Shawano, helped with the 1911 plat maps -- many thanks for their help with the images.  Since then, we redesigned the pages when we acquired clearer images from other sources, resulting in the images being larger and more easily navigated -- many thanks to RMC for his help in the new design, layout and scans.

And a word on plat maps -- these are basically FARM LAND MAPS -- they do show the city boundaries but if your ancestors lived inside the towns & cities they generally will not show up on the plat maps or the index...  Each township map is divided into 36 sections... and each section is approximately 640 acres.  Click on the image in the upper right to get a detailed look at how a township is divided into sections as this will help familiarize you with the layout used on all plat maps.
