Field Notes
These field notes were written by surveyors who described land that had previously been unsettled. The field notes give information about boundary lines, forest growth, topography, distances, and related information. They frequently contain information about hardships or unusual occurrences encountered during the survey. Many of the field notes were used to create maps of the areas surveyed.


Bingham Purchase
In the 1780s and 1790s, Massachusetts wanted to sell off large tracts of land in Maine. William Bingham, a wealthy man from Philadelphia, managed to buy these two large tracts totaling nearly 2 million acres. The documents in this collection show the initial agreements and then deeds granting the land to Bingham in 1793.
