The 250 page book with 65 total maps features homesteads, roads, waterways, towns, cemeteries and railways. There are three maps for each of the 20 congressional townships that make up Daviess County, according to the website at www.arphax.com. Each township has a patent map, patent index, road map, and a map called a historical map, which includes waterways, watercourses and railroads.
The road and historical maps also include the city-centers and cemeteries that can be found at NationalAtlas.gov.
There is also a Surname/Patent Index and a Surname/Township Index to help you dive into the right area of the county. Included Appendices identify multi-patentee buying groups and also list the numerous aliquot (section) parts you might find.
