Winston County Land is identified by Section Number within Township
and Range coordinates. Normal sections contain 640 acres but there are
some exceptions in Winston County due to Range 12E being more narrow
than normal. To learn more about land records, please consult Linda
Haas Davenport's articles on
Taking the
Mystery Out of Land Records or
Where to Obtain a Land Patent. The Bureau of Land Management also
has a nice on line
tutorial.
Eileen Nail has provided a
map
that shows the range and township coordinates for Winston County. The map
also shows the 5 Beats or Supervisor Districts. Starting with the 1880
census, households were recorded by Beat or Supervisor District.
