DESCRIPTION: This book includes town lot claims from Elsinore residents. Townsite lots in Utah were originally distributed by the Mormon Church. The Federal government later authorized county probate courts to validate ownership. Information in each entry includes lot number, location, and evidence that the claiming party was entitled to a deed. These are city maps and plats for surveys and maintenance of city property and facilities. They are used for research purposes by the public, other city departments, and title companies. They include townships and range, rights-of-way, monument markers, lot measurements, street names, centerline measurements, blocks, and subdivision names.
