Early Land Claims on the Burlington Northeast Quadrangle NOW AVAILABLE!

I have wrapped up my work on mapping the early land claims that lie within the USGS 7.5' Burlington Northeast Quadrangle. The resulting map includes parts of the Everard Tract and Pollock Tract 2 in the Saxapahaw Old Fields as well as numerous grants from Earl Granville and the State of North Carolina.

The map includes land claims on Back Creek, Quaker Creek, Boyds Creek, Stag Creek, Storm Creek, Owens Creek, Deep Creek, Jordan Creek, the Rocky Fork, and Stony Branch. Here is a low-resolution image of the map:
