Before Pulaski County became Pulaski County (in 1839), the area had to be mapped and platted. These links contain the original plat maps, from 1834. From Indianamaps.org, this disclaimer is on the first page.
The purpose of this map is to assist in retrieving digitized PLSS notes and plats. The county and PLSS Township lines are for graphical reference only and do not represent true boundary or survey lines.
No attempt has been made in either the design or production nof this map to define the limits or jurisdiction of any federal, state, or local government. This map is intended for use only at the published scale of 1:24,000 or smaller and is for reference purposes only. It should not be construed as a legal document or survey instrument. A detailed on-the-ground survey and historical analysis of a single site will differ from this map. Your use of these files is an acceptance of these terms.
The linked images (and any subsequent modifications or derivatives) are forever in the Public Domain.
No business entity or person involved in the creation or distribution of this information make any warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, including but not limited to the accuracy, completeness, fitness, or usefulness of the map or the images for any particular purpose, and under no circumstances shall they be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to their use. Do not alter documents. Document names should not be changed. Document names describe the source and location of document location. Your access to (and/or use of) the map and images serves as your acceptance of these terms and conditions.
