Arphax Publishing recently released Family Maps of Pueblo County, Colorado. This publication is one in a series of books by Gregory Boyd that uses “first owner” land records (patents) and maps them county by county.

The book has 548 pages and 72 land patent maps, one for each of the congressional townships. Each township map has the name of each patentee and the year the patent was issued. Mr. Boyd obtained the information for the maps from the BLM database indexes.

The book can be purchased through the Arphax website. There is a surname index for the book on the website that can be checked before purchasing.

Another Colorado county published as part of this series was Family Maps of Crowley County, Colorado.
