Here is a link to a company that markets research booklets that covers Mississippi counties as well as other states and counties. www.thefamilyhistorystore.com/family-maps-rankin-county-mississippi-spiralbound-p-2802.html?cPath=34_69_689_734I ordered this book: Family Maps of Rankin County, Mississippi (Spiral-Bound)
By Gregory A. Boyd. 372 pages, with 98 total maps. There are 3 maps for each of the 31 Congressional townships that make up Rankin County. Each Township has a Patent Map, Patent Index, Road Map, and a Map we call an Historical Map, which includes Waterways, Watercourses & 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. This book is constructed to last with a plastic spiral binding, acid-free paper, and a tough, laminated cover.

Awesome!!! I will definately check it out, I have been looking for something like this for Marshall and Desoto Counties, especially Desoto since we are working on an active case there and I could not find any old maps that had what I was looking for at the courthouse...thanks for this info!!
