BLO ORIGINAL SURVEY PLAT MAP IMAGES

[fowlercharles]

Does anyone know what went of the BLO site I posted awhile back? Great site it "WAS." I tried to pull it up from my "Favorites " last night and it is no longer available. They appear to have reworked the site and for some reason decided the Original Survey Plat Images needed to be left off.Maybe the new site is not finished yet but that does not seem to be the case. I wonder if after a certain time period they put that info out to contractactors so they can be sold at profit for all concerned? I do know that one time I did see where some 1812 War Maps were up for sale by Map Dealers, when they were supposed to be placed on line by the Library of Congress . Far as I know the LBC never did put them on line. I may be missing something in working of their new site, or just missing the reasoning for the change of such a good site but it was most likely just Big Brothers Beavis and Butthead at work with our tax dollars as usual.They must have used up their supply of marbles to screw up and had to have something to do to make it look like they were doing something. LOL, I could Rant on for awhile! Sorry, I'll hush now ! Charlie

Bob , I have the the Site "bookmarked" from before when I posted it on the Forum, but what I was wondering was since the BLO has evidently decided the site needed a "facelift" or whatever they would call it, was to ask if anyone had any idea about where the Original Survey Plat Maps were moved to? Or, what it looks like is that the Survey Plats were removed altogether. I was wondering if maybe I was just not understanding how to navigate their"Newly Improved"(???) site they now have in place of the previous one.That site(Survey Maps) I posted here on the Map Forum awhile back can no longer be viewed. If so, it would be nice to know if someone knows where. Thanks, Charlie

Looks like I was right and they are updating/moving/ whatever they do,, the site and I did see enough of it entered to see that is the same material they had up before so that is good to know that it is not being removed altogether. However, no real images are posted yet but the "! Comming Soon " notice is posted , so lets hope it will not be to far in the future before all is up and running again. Also, it is listed by the GLO(General Land Office) and not the BLO (Bureau Of Land Management) for whatever the need be to know the difference. I will try and keep up with their progress and pass it on whenever it happens. HH, Charlie

What is the URL?

 

[fowlercharles]

Beats me Bob, just do a Google and go to the BLO General Land Records Office and you will find the Pats., Surveys and LSR. listed. Be sure to click on the IMAGES to get the survey Plats to show. That is what I was missing before and thought it was not working because it is some of the mapping that is not running yet. HH Charlie
