Early Land Claims on the Mebane Quadrangle NOW AVAILABLE!

I have wrapped up my work on mapping the early land claims that lie within the USGS 7.5' Mebane Quadrangle. The resulting map includes parts of the Everard Tract, the Little Tract, the Lovick Tract, the Forster Tract, the Nugent Tract, Moseley Tract 1, Moseley Tract 2, and Pollock Tract 1 in the Saxapahaw Old Fields as well as numerous grants from the State of North Carolina and part of Henry McCulloh's Great Tract #11. This map covers the area of Swepsonville, Hawfields, and Mebane among others.

The map includes land claims on Back Creek, Quaker Creek, Mill Creek, Haw Creek, Jumping Run, McAdams Creek, Rocky Branch, Nelson Branch, a little bit of Big Alamance Creek, Hawfields Branch, Stony Branch, Plum Branch, Mulberry Branch, Meadow Creek, and Little Back Creek among others. Here is a low-resolution image of the map:
